Kellerei Kaltern Caldaro Pinot Grigio 2013

Here's a great reminder that several producers in northern Italy actually make their PG in an aromatic, textured, full-flavoured style more commonly associated with Alsace. The nose suggests orange and lemon fruit, while the quite robust palate serves up good citrus echoes along with ripe apple, moderate crisp acidity, a gentle hint of spritz and a clean, dry finish.
