Borgo Conventi Pinot Grigio Collio 2021

90 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling

Borgo Conventi’s Pinot Grigio is gorgeous, and it’s not surprising if you know the winery. They’ve been a major player in the Collio region since the mid-1970s and have had the same winemaker, Paolo Corso, since 1989.  His relentless work in the vineyard has translated into some of the most interesting, high-toned white wine treats that I’ve had from Collio.

His 2021 Pinot Grigio Collio DOC is flat-out delicious. It’s got spice, it’s got depth yet it’s light and fresh – it’s really a chameleon wine that can be whatever you want it to be. I’m not so sure this one even needs food. It just dances out of the glass, especially on a hot, sunny day. I’d go for it slightly chilled in a tall, white wine glass, and just sit back and enjoy the show.

The two wine publications that tried it both loved it – with James Suckling giving it 90 points, loving the palate which he called “compact, ripe and lightly spicy”. Wine Enthusiast even included their coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate along with their own rave review.
