Mongris Pinot Grigio Collio DOC

Copper reflections in the glass, floral depth in the bouquet — the Mongris shows what Pinot Grigio can do in the Collio when it is taken seriously.

Marco Felluga is one of the defining names in Friuli. The winery in Gradisca d'Isonzo has been working the hilly sites of the Collio, right on the Slovenian border, for generations. Here, on mineral-rich flysch soils of sandstone and marl, Pinot Grigio grows slowly and develops more substance than in flatter regions. It is no coincidence that the Friulians simply call the grape variety Gris — and gave the wine its name after it.

In the glass, the Mongris shows a rich golden yellow with warm copper tones. On the nose, acacia blossom, broom, and ripe apple, with a mild hint of beeswax underneath. Full-bodied on the palate with a soft acidity structure, no hint of sharpness. The finish is long and slightly spicy.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Vitello tonnato, grilled sea bream, or risotto with seafood.
