Forte Alto Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC (2025)
Forte Alto / D.O.C. delle Venezie, Northeast Italy
The Crisp, Alpine-Chilled High-Street Refresher
Pale straw with clear, brilliant green highlights in the glass. The nose is clean and refreshing, offering subtle aromas of crisp green apple, conference pear, white blossoms, and a hint of wet river stones. Light-bodied on the palate with a lively, mouth-watering acidity, a clean mineral backbone, and a dry, refreshing finish.
⭐ (Sitting at a light 12% ABV and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, it is exceptionally crisp, clean, and gentle on the head).
Pan-seared white fish, seafood risotto, lemon-herb roasted chicken, or light goat cheese salads.
When you're in a country without vineyards, you're at the mercy of the local Marks and Spencer—and supermarket Pinot Grigio can sometimes taste like expensive water if you aren't careful. Fortunately, Forte Alto leans into its "mountain vineyard" branding to actually deliver some character. Sourced from the cooler foothills of northeastern Italy, it brings a crisp, alpine freshness with snappy green apple and mineral zip that cuts right through rich food. It's unpretentious, reliable, and a great bottle to keep chilling in the fridge for an easy evening in
