Review: 2022 Kornell Florian Brigl “Gris” Pinot Grigio Alto Adige

Never mind the Frenchified “GRIS” on the front label, this is Italian pinot grigio, hailing from Alto Adige.

Florian Brigl (not a typo) offers a surprisingly soft expression of pinot grigio here, gently herbal and grassy on the nose, moving into notes of sesame, coconut, and — especially — white flowers. There’s a lightly peppery quality evident that lifts the nose just so, giving the finish an herbaceous, spicy character that battles a bit with the more summery, creamier attack. Just a pinch of saline brightens up an otherwise flowery finish.

B+ / $17
