By far – the top selling Pinot Grigio in Nicholas Wines history is Diego Bolognani’s delectable example from high atop Trento overlooking the Dolomite Mountains. The Bolognani family is very unassuming, but have been quietly crafting some of the best Pinot Grigio in the world for almost 70 years now.
There’s really no close second to Diego’s wines in the region. But that’s not just me saying that. I’ve been on the phone with a handful of producers throughout Alto Adige and Trentino. When I tell them I’m looking for a replacement for Diego Bolognani, there’s been a consensus groan on the other end. Here’s what one of the producers told me: “A replacement for Diego Bolognani? That’s not possible. His Pinot Grigios carry immense weight in Italy; he is viewed as an icon.” Welp.
So it’s with a good deal of sadness that I have to report that Diego Bolognani has decided to retire. This wine life isn’t an easy one and the business will not be passing on to the next generation. So the 2020 Bolognani Pinot Grigio will be the last ever.

If I had to think of one wine to pair with a hot dog and the works it would probably be Diego Bolognani’s brilliant Pinot Grigio.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
