Andrea di Pec Pinot Grigio 2023 Venezia Giulia
Andrea di Pec Pinot Grigio is a crisp, full-flavoured Pinot Grigio from the Venezia Giulia region of North West Italy. It shows citrus fruit, apple and almond aromas, with subtle, zingy flavours. Venezia Giulia is bordered by Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east; the region makes some of Italy's most concentrated, characterful Pinot Grigios.
Andrea di Pec was the nephew of Frederico d'Attems who was Chancellor of Gorizia in 1540. Andrea was a great teacher of specialised agriculture and in particular viticulture. His Estate was located in the centre of some of the most prestigious agricultural land in Friuli. His impact on the region was such that even though the property, over the centuries, was splintered and changed hands, the name remained and is still used by the present proprietors who managed to secure the core of the original estate.

The Collio region, a strip of hills bordering Slovenia, is reputed to have one of Europe's most privileged micro-climates for white wines, while the red wines are also noted for their appeal. Founded by Eugenio Collavini in 1896, this family-owned winery is now run by Manlio Collavini together with his sons Giovanni and Luigi. Located in Udine, they were the first to make a sparkling wine out of Ribolla Gialla – an ancient local variety – and to implement new wine making technologies. Collavini prides itself on its clean, modern style wines, while still retaining the traditions and grape varieties native to the area. Collavini's 'Broy' is a multiple TreBicchieri winner and is recognised as one of Italy's top white wines. As keen dog lovers, the Collavini’s very first pet Dachshund 'Ribolla' is portrayed on the label.
