The Luisa estate consists of 210 acres of vineyards in the Corona area of the Isonzo DOC. This largely gravel plateau was created by the erosion of melting Alpine glaciers. The soil is characteristically rich in minerals, especially aluminium and iron, giving the wines of the area a unique flavor that stays faithful to its terroir of origin.
The bouquet is reminiscent of crusty bread, acacia blossoms and ripe tropical fruits. On the palate it is fruity, silky, soft and round with an elegant long lasting finish.
Perfect as an aperitif or with light pasta dishes, starters, ham, fresh cheese, whitemeat, eggs, vegetable dishes and seafood.
Vinous

The 2021 Pinot Grigio wafts up with a blend of dusty florals and sweet spice. It's soft and round, with contrasting minerality and citrus-tinged orchard fruits. This finishes with a salty flourish and a touch of lime zest.

A bright white backed by lip-smacking acidity, with a minerally underpinning to the pleasing range of ripe green apple, pink grapefruit pith, white blossoms and blood orange zest. Drink now. 3,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

Easygoing and fresh out of the gate, this Pinot Grigio is generous in its fruit-forward aromatics of fresh green apple, lemon and white peach. Subtle hints of white flower mingle between the core of the fruit. The palate is bright and fresh, carrying the aromas straight onto the palate.
