The Tenuta Sant'Helena Collio Pinot Grigio from Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, is a refined and expressive example of Pinot Grigio from one of Italy’s most prestigious white wine regions. Known for its complexity, richness, and bright acidity, this wine offers more depth than many typical Pinot Grigios. Here are the tasting notes:

Appearance:
The wine displays a pale straw-yellow color with subtle golden hues, indicating both freshness and a touch of richness.

Nose:
On the nose, the Tenuta Sant'Helena Collio Pinot Grigio is aromatic and elegant. It offers a bouquet of ripe orchard fruits such as pear, apple, and white peach. These fruit aromas are complemented by citrus notes of lemon zest and lime. There are also delicate floral hints of jasmine and acacia, along with a subtle minerality that evokes wet stone or crushed rocks, characteristic of the Collio terroir. A faint touch of almond adds complexity to the nose.

Palate:
The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, round texture, balanced by a vibrant, zesty acidity. The fruit flavors are clean and focused, with pear, green apple, and white peach at the forefront, followed by hints of lemon and lime. The wine has a crisp, refreshing quality, yet there is a slight richness that adds depth and complexity. The minerality detected on the nose carries through on the palate, providing a structured and precise edge. A hint of almond and a light creaminess round out the mid-palate, enhancing the wine’s elegance.

Finish:
The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, pear, and a touch of minerality. The wine leaves a clean, crisp aftertaste with a slight nutty or almond note, making it both satisfying and invigorating.

Overall Impression:
Tenuta Sant'Helena Collio Pinot Grigio is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine that showcases the complexity and finesse of Pinot Grigio from the Collio region. Its combination of bright fruit, lively acidity, and subtle minerality makes it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes, including seafood, grilled fish, salads, light pastas, and risottos. It is also a fantastic wine to enjoy on its own as a refreshing aperitif. This wine is best enjoyed young, but it has the potential to develop more richness and complexity with a few years of aging.
