If you’ve ever been to Northern Italy, specifically the Alto Adige region, you know that wine is not a job but a way of life. That’s especially true of Bolzano, a beautiful hillside town that serves as the gateway to the Dolomites. There’s a famous Italian old saying, “Venice floats on water, Bolzano floats on wine.” If you’ve been there you know why. Vineyards run through district lines, through town centers, through everywhere.
If you want to find the very best wines from the region, you look for sun soaked plateaus and southern facing slopes — but really you don’t have to look any further than the monastery that sits on the edge of town belonging to Muri Gries.
For over a century, monastery life and vineyard life have been inextricably intertwined. Their steadfast devotion to the land and the grapes has produced wines of extraordinary flavor. Certainly not ones for pomp and circumstance, the wines have largely flown under the radar.
Quality Pinot Grigio from the Dolomite Mountain range of Alto Adige can often approach thirty bucks and frankly many are well worth it. But at today’s price, this is definitely a case buy.

The 2019 Pinot Grigio lifts from the glass in a pretty display of ripe peach with a lemon twist, crushed stone and hints of morning dew. There’s a textural interplay, as silky waves are contrasted by citrus-tinged acids and minerals, which also adds liveliness to its ripe orchard fruits. The palate aches for another sip throughout the cheek-puckering finish. This is an excellent, energetic Pinot Grigio that may be even better after six months to a year in the cellar.

This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.

This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
