  • This is the wine that 9 out of 10 cool cats prefer and it is a sure-fire winner for almost any occasion you care to dream up.
  • We got a great price for this wine by buying very early. The late birds either had to drop quality or increase their bottle prices.
  • This beauty is a real stunner - grab a bottle or two now and let us know what you think!

The rise of Pinot Grigio within the wine world has been mind blowing. It now holds a lofty position in terms of sales and peoples preference when buying whites. This is a wine quite literally suitable for all occasions. Our d'Arcana is up there with the best. Its rise to stardom is about style and simplicity. There's crispness and freshness to the flavour profile, reminiscent of tinned pears - just delicious and leaves its drinkers hankering for more. Chuck in the versatility and you've a magnificent combo.

"This is from the beautiful hills of Trentino and they give the wine a real freshness, a vibrancy." - Anselmo Martini, winemaker

Pinot Grigio's natural home is in north-eastern Italy, where the cooler air helps to keep its aromatic freshness locked in. In the best ones, like this, the combination of a more northerly latitude, plenty of altitude and some cool air from the Alps creates a classic Pinot Grigio that is both refreshing and delicious. Given that Italy hasn't as much Pinot Grigio planted to match the number of bottles sold each year, and knowing this is the real McCoy, we rate this wine as a pure, crowd-pleasing paragon!
