Perlage - Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie 2025
Perlage is an emblematic family winery from Veneto, located in Farra di Soligo, in the heart of a region marked by organic wine culture. The journey began in 1985 with the Nardi family, who made an early choice for organic farming and gradually built a range of committed, clear, and accessible Italian wines. While the estate is particularly recognized for its Prosecco from the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, it also develops still wines that continue the same quest for freshness, purity, and respect for the fruit. This Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2025 fits into this philosophy, with a clear, direct profile perfectly suited for convivial consumption. The DOC delle Venezie appellation covers a large area of northeastern Italy, where Pinot Grigio finds favorable conditions for a fresh and delicate expression. Influences from Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia produce a white wine that is both supple, floral, and thirst-quenching. It is a simple cuvée in its approach but carefully balanced, ideal for lovers of fresh and easy-to-pair Italian whites.
The Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2025 cuvée is made from Pinot Grigio, the flagship grape of northeastern Italy. The vines, about 20 years old, grow on alluvial soils naturally suited to producing frank and fruity whites. The freshness of the soils, the aeration of the plots, and the influence of breezes help preserve the aromatic liveliness of the grape. The style sought by Perlage favors clarity, drinkability, and immediate expression of the grape variety rather than complexity from aging. The vinification emphasizes a dry profile, with a low level of residual sugars, to maintain a fresh and linear palate. The wine has an alcohol content of 12%, giving it a pleasant balance between lightness, structure, and persistence. In the 2025 vintage, this Pinot Grigio presents itself as a bright, precise white, easy to appreciate in its youth.
In the glass, Perlage Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2025 reveals a pale straw yellow color, sometimes marked by very slight coppery reflections typical of the variety. The nose opens with white flowers, fresh pear, crunchy apple, and delicate yellow fruits, with a touch of melon and a slightly honeyed nuance. The palate is fresh, supple, and linear, supported by pleasant acidity and a clean finish. The whole remains fine, accessible, and balanced, with a fruity sensation that never falls into aromatic excess. This organic and vegan white is perfect for tasting as an aperitif, served well chilled but not excessively cold. It will pair very well with antipasti, herb risotto, grilled fish, seafood, light poultry, or seasonal vegetable cuisine. Serve around 10 to 12°C to preserve its brightness, freshness, and thirst-quenching character.
