Alois Lageder Porer Pinot Grigio 2023 from Alto Adige is a striking, pale straw–pink Italian white that immediately hints at texture, spice and serious intent in the glass. This Porer Pinot Grigio 2023 takes classic Pinot Grigio freshness and layers in complexity through skin contact, whole–bunch work and extended lees ageing.

In the glass you’ll find orchard fruits, white peach, melon and crisp pear, woven with citrus zest, thyme, peony, beeswax, roasted nuts and a fine, salty mineral line. The palate is dry, lively and subtly creamy, showing lemon, pear and red–berry hints over a gently textural frame, with a touch of phenolic grip and a long, savoury, saline finish that keeps it incredibly food–friendly. It’s medium–bodied yet poised, offering both refreshment and real depth in each sip.

On the table, this is a brilliant match with grilled prawns, spaghetti vongole, octopus salad or simple lemon–and–herb chicken, where that acidity and minerality absolutely sing. It will also shine alongside vegetable antipasti, creamy burrata with olive oil, or a mushroom risotto, making it an inspired choice for Mediterranean–leaning dinners and relaxed alfresco lunches alike.
