This Pinot Grigio comes from Grave/Friuli DOC vineyards in Friuli‑Venezia‑Giulia, where gravelly alluvial soils and significant day‑night temperature shifts help the variety retain acidity while developing aromatic complexity. The 2024 vintage continues Scarbolo’s focus on varietal clarity and regional character, delivering a Pinot Grigio that is more textured and sapid than simple, neutral examples from other areas.
Grapes are harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to preserve delicate fruit and floral notes. A short period on fine lees adds texture and roundness without obscuring the crisp, mineral profile that defines the house style.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Aromas of quince, pear sorbet, wild mint, wet stone, cantaloupe, Kumato tomato and violet flowers, giving both fruitiness and subtle herbal lift.
-
Palate: Homogeneous, sapid and silky, with medium body, ripe pear and melon flavours, gentle citrus and a distinct mineral streak.
-
Finish: Structured and balanced, ending with a finely salty, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.
Awards and Accolades
There are no available critics’ scores or published tasting notes from major international reviewers specifically for Scarbolo Pinot Grigio Friuli DOC 2024 at this time. For context, Scarbolo’s Pinot Grigio from previous recent vintages is often noted in retailer and regional write‑ups for its above‑average intensity, sapid character and strong value compared with more neutral Pinot Grigio styles; these comments refer to earlier vintages, not the 2024 release.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 10–12°C in medium white‑wine glasses to highlight both fruit and minerality. This Pinot Grigio pairs well with antipasti, grilled vegetables, fish and shellfish, light pasta dishes and fresh cheeses, and is best enjoyed now through about 2028 while its vibrant fruit and floral notes remain at peak.
