I would say in a given year I taste 4-6 dozen Rosés that people bring me to potentially offer up to the Nicholas Wines faithful. I cherry pick the top ones – the best values, the best deals, etc.
This is one of those that stole the show at a tasting – a full-throttle, energetic Rosé made from 100% Pinot Grigio in Venice.
It comes from right near Collio, just to the west of Gorizia, and is conveniently protected from both the cold northern winds and the characteristic “bora” wind of Trieste. There’s ideal gravelly/sandy soils and ample sunlight – perfectly balanced by super cool nights, which leads to extended hang times and juicy fruit that is roaring to go.

Pale coral color with aromas of dried flowers, red apples and grapefruit. Tangy and fruity with medium body and a dry, subtly spicy finish.

The 2019 is a must have for any fans of cellar-worthy Italian red wines. It’s a structured Chianti Riserva, with a ton of character. The nose is intense with notes of leather surrounding a core of bright red fruits. The flavors are intense and the finish is long with lingering Bing Cherry notes that absolutely sing. Obviously, since we’ve got the first crack at it, not all the ratings are in and it probably wouldn’t matter anyway as these will not stick around for long.
92 Points, James Suckling – 90 Points, Vinous
The Pinot Grigio Mongris is their reserve Pinot Grigio bottling. It still spends most of its time in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and aromatics, but it also spends a little time in big Hungarian barrels, adding a touch of richness and complexity to this beaming Pinot Grigio while also giving it ageability. Unsurprisingly, the critics raved, with Vinous and James Suckling both giving the wine 90+ point scores. Vinous called it, “round and enveloping with a stimulating core of zesty green citrus”. Suckling gave it a big 92-point score and highlighted its “concentrated, complex and spicy palate”.

“For Bibi Graetz’s 20th anniversary of his beloved Testamatta, the superstar winemaker set out to make something truly age-worthy and spectacular and unlike anything he has made to date. Armed with his brand new, state-of-the-art winemaking facility in Florence, Graetz’s 2019 Testamatta is elegant and pure with multiple layers of depth and evolution. With part of the makeup consisting of vines from the 1950’s, the wine has such sophistication and intrigue and I suspect will continue to evolve into something special over the next three to four decades.”
The recently released 2021 Zanotelli Pinot Grigio Trentino is a vivacious Italian white wine. It is a high-toned treat, but still features fleshy fruit, a solid medium-to full bodied mid palate with great concentration and depth. Aged for six months in stainless steel, it comes roaring out of the gates with notes of orchard fruit, summer peach, green apple and pear with good acid due to the elevation of their steep vineyards at the SW foothills of the Dolomite Mts.
