Selecting Wine – Lis Neris Pinot Grigio Tradizion DOC – 2021 from Friuli, Italy

A Taste of Friuli: The Terroir of Lis Neris

Hailing from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Italy, the Lis Neris winery is renowned for its dedication to producing exceptional white wines. The area’s unique terroir—a mix of gravelly and clay soils and its position between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps create a microclimate that is ideal for growing grapes with both aromatic freshness and a distinctive minerality. The 2021 vintage is a beautiful example of this, capturing the essence of a sun-drenched year with its full-bodied warmth and a crisp, saline character that is a hallmark of the region.

The 2021 Vintage: A Bottle of Sunshine

The Lis Neris Pinot Grigio Tradizione DOC – 2021 is far from the light, simple Pinot Grigios you might be familiar with. It is an elegant and complex wine that showcases the true potential of the varietal. On the nose, you’ll be greeted with inviting aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and delicate white flowers, all underpinned by a subtle hint of almond and a flinty, mineral edge. This is a wine with a beautiful story to tell.

On the palate, it is a revelation. The wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture that coats the mouth, balanced by a lively, crisp acidity. You’ll taste the citrus and green apple flavours, along with a refreshing minerality that lingers on the finish. This complexity and structure make it an exceptional partner for a wide range of seafood dishes, which is precisely why it holds a special place on our wine list.
