VENICA & VENICA Collio DOC Pinot Grigio “Jesera” 2022

HK$310.00

The Pinot Grigio presents itself as fresh and lively on the nose, with a floral bouquet, hints of yellow peach, and a touch of minerality.

On the palate, it is enveloping, offering fresh and savory sensations. The fruity notes reappear, culminating in a mouth-closing with a pleasing mineral finish.

“The 2022 Pinot Grigio Jesera is a total treat, with a sweetly scented bouquet of freshly sliced peaches and wildflowers accentuated by white smoke. This sweeps across the palate with ripe orchard fruits and green melon, neatly balanced by a gentle tinge of minerality. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, leaving a pleasant inner sweetness and hints of confectionary spice. A sour lime tinge adds a lovely contrast. While a bit riper in style than previous vintages, the Jesera is impossible to ignore.” – Vinous, 91 Points

Venica & Venica

Venica & Venica has been established in 1930. It is still a family-owned estate with 28 hectares of vines in Collio, near the Slovenian border.

Today the winery is one of Friuli’s most famous and respected estates. It is well-known for making highly textural and aromatic whites that use little to no wood.

Venica & Venica’s vineyards are spread over 7 different hills. They are located from 300-400 meters above sea level — each with its own distinct micro-climate.

This great terroir provides unique characteristics to each of the vines and creates a wine of great complexity.
