Tiefenbrunner | Vigneti delle Dolomiti | Pinot Grigio | Dolomiti IGT, Alto Adige, Italy | 2025
Tiefenbrunner is one of Alto Adige's most storied and respected estates, farming the dramatic alpine slopes of the Dolomiti with a precision that few producers can match. Based in Cortaccia (Kurtatsch) in the heart of South Tyrol, the estate has been producing wines of exceptional alpine purity for generations — and is today led by Christof Tiefenbrunner, who has also championed sustainability and women's leadership within the estate. Their Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio is the estate's signature white — a wine that captures the cool-climate purity and stony minerality of the Italian Alps in every glass.
Alto Adige — also known as Südtirol — is Italy's northernmost wine region, nestled in the Dolomites along the Austrian border. The dramatic altitude, long sunny days, cool nights, and rocky alpine soils create ideal conditions for aromatic white varieties, and Pinot Grigio here achieves a precision, freshness, and mineral character that sets it apart from the flatter, more neutral expressions produced further south.
The 2025 is bright, focused, and effortlessly refreshing. The nose is fresh and inviting — citrus zest, ripe nectarine, white pear, apricot, and white blossoms, with a delicate underpinning of meadow grass and ground ginger. On the palate, crisp minerality takes center stage — clean, linear, and precise — with flavors of white cherry, green almond, and stone fruit carrying through to a lively, refreshing finish. Everything a great Pinot Grigio should be: light on its feet, honest, and deeply satisfying.
Pair with butter-poached fish, scampi, pasta primavera, light seafood, grilled vegetables, and soft cheeses. An ideal aperitivo wine.
