Nals Margreid Punggl Pinot Grigio 2020

Drink it now. No need to decant.

The Pinot Grigio Punggl from the South Tyrolean Nals Margreid winery is part of the Selection line, which collects high-quality wines and expresses the excellence of the most suitable parcels of the estate. The company, established in 1985, is made up of approximately 140 families of winegrowers, with 150 hectares of vineyards (70% white grapes and 30% red grapes) divided into 14 areas, located between Nalles, Val d’Adige, and Magrè, at an altitude between 200 and 900 meters.

The monosyllable epithet Punggl is a dialect word that designates a small hill. In this case, we refer to the homonymous hill south of Magré where the octogenarian vines of Pinot Grigio grow on clayey and sandy soils. After the soft pressing of the grapes and the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is decanted into oak barrels, where it refines for eight months.

The Punggl fills the glass with a bright straw yellow color veined with greenish reflections. The nose presents elegant aromas of orange, honey and hay. On the palate, it is deliciously juicy with good structure and a long and pleasant aftertaste that lingers for a long time in the mouth. It is a Pinot grigio of great character that goes well with fish dishes, or well-spiced white meat.
