Brought to you by Laithwaites:
Pinot Grigio is currently the world’s trendiest white grape and highly sought-after, particularly from the vineyards of northern Italy. As supply can’t keep up with demand, particularly in the small 2007 vintage, consumers are paying a premium for it. The secret is, however, the Italians themselves like to buy it by the bucketload from Eastern Europe! Some of Pinot Grigio’s popularity must be put down to the fact that it has an excellent combination of roundness, blended in with subtle spice and lively stony and lemony acidity. This particular Pinot Grigio hails from Romania, which is thought to have a 6,000-year-old tradition of winemaking. Today, it is the world’s 9th largest wine producer (and the biggest within Eastern Europe) with 230,000 hectares of vines, but traditionally has exported very little. Being on the same latitude as France, it has ideal viticultural conditions which are a long way from being fully exploited - a country that has not, so far, attracted much worldwide investment, but that has enormous vinous potential. Winemaker for La Cittadella is the well-travelled Australian Stephen Bennett, who works his magic in Transylvania, at a cellar that supplies Romania’s royal family. Head of this winery is Dan Muntean - a local who can boast his own spooky castle!
