Gradis’ciutta is the name of the hilltop village where winemaker Robert Princic grew up - a quiet village in the Collio sub-zone of Friuli, close to San Floriano del Collio, surrounded by vineyards that his family had tended for generations. In 1997, with a background in oenology and a deep respect for the land, Robert founded the winery that now bears the name of his childhood home. I can’t be sure but I’m starting to get the impression that Pinot Grigio is starting to be seen as a slightly more respectable grape these days. 7 or 8 years ago the country seemed awash with entry level wines, the sales of which were determined exclusively on price. In truth, the mushrooming of Pinot Grigio sales through the early part of the noughties were way in excess of what could realistically have been produced but we won’t dwell on that, simply celebrate the arrival of wines which reflect far better what the grape can achieve. Really quite generous with melon and peach flavours to the fore and a beautiful balance on the palate

Modest and passionate about his vineyards, Abel and his wife Maite have been making understated wines in San Vicente since 1988.
Lying in the shadow of the Sierra Cantabria, Abel has vineyards in the finest parts of the Alavesa. His knowledge and understanding of the soils is enthralling and to taste in his cellar can be an education on the effects different soils have in different years. He wants only to express the fruit and the soil and unlike many Riojans, he leaves it more or less at that. He does not want to stamp the wines with any particular style or mark of his own other than his respect for the very natural quality of the grapes and for the magical places that they were grown.
Straw yellow. Intense aromas, floral, very perfumed, with good fruit expression in the foreground, and well integrated wood notes of balsamic and dried grass. In the mouth it has superb acidity with a bright, smooth, silky and pleasant finish.

Cherry red, purple and traces of violet. Subtle notes of cocoa, liquorice, and balsamic. It enters the mouth dry and structured.

A very classy and compelling wine. Deeply coloured with a pure, intense bouquet of crushed fruits, spice and oak. Elegant oak aging enhances the wine’s complexity and class.
