Dornach – Pinot Grigio Macerato – Louis 49 - 2023
Not your mom's Pinot Grigio! An brilliant and unexpected take on the varietal. High elevation grapes are picked over the course of several passes in the vineyard for optimal quality and ripeness. Whole bunch maceration over a couple of weeks results in a deep amber/dark rose color, stunning aromatics and a pluck on the palate that leaves me smiling each and every time.

The true embodiment of living in harmony with nature can be found at Dornach. Patrick Uccelli, his wife Karoline, and their three young children farm the terraced vineyards above Salorno originally planted by his family in 1836.
The ideals of biodynamicsare beautifully rendered here where grapes, other fruits, vegetables, grains, bees and livestock all exist harmoniously creating a closed ecosystem with amazing biodiversity. Dornach’s Pinot Blanc and Pinot Nero burst with varietal and regional character, pure expressions of site and personality.
