Borgo Belvedere crafts some of the finest Pinot Grigio from the stony foothills of Friuli in northeast Italy. Here these blushed-pink grapes drink Alpine-sized gulps of liquid minerals from the region's tough soils, producing white wines with great verve and energy on the palate.
We select from Borgo Belvedere's cellar the finest lots of Pinot Grigio—refreshing, low-alcohol and pure white wine that is always vinified in tank to preserve every bit of steely, limpid fruit.
Borgo Belvedere's location is breathtaking. The towering Alps to the northeast of the winery create a natural border with Slovenia and Austria; to the east, the Adriatic laps up on the shores of Trieste, the region’s capital. This ideal combination of cool mountain air and warm sea breezes allows grapes to ripen gradually and evenly. Borgo Belvedere's vineyards are littered with chalky stones, left behind by receding glaciers and river runoff, which give wines great minerality. These stones also help keep vineyards at optimum temperatures, absorbing the warmth of the day and releasing this heat through the long, chilly mountain nights.
