Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Murva Cjamp di Maria Pinot Grigio shows a pale straw color with subtle green reflections, signaling its youth and freshness. The nose is clean and lifted, with aromas of pear, green apple, white peach and lemon zest, layered with hints of white flowers, almond, and a delicate mineral note reminiscent of wet stone. On the palate, the wine is dry, sleek and finely balanced, offering a core of crisp orchard fruit and citrus framed by lively acidity. A gentle, almost saline minerality gives it tension and length, while a subtle creaminess on the mid-palate adds texture without ever feeling heavy. The finish is refreshing and persistent, leaving notes of citrus peel and faint herbal nuances. Enjoyed in its youth for maximum vibrancy, it will drink beautifully over the next 2–3 years.

Production
Murva’s Cjamp di Maria Pinot Grigio comes from vineyards in Friuli, one of Italy’s most respected regions for crisp, characterful white wines. The terroir is defined by well-drained, stony and alluvial soils that help concentrate aromas and preserve natural acidity, while cool nights and warm days allow for slow, even ripening. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only the healthiest bunches reach the winery. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the delicate aromatics and highlight purity of fruit. The wine is then aged on fine lees for a short period to add texture and complexity before bottling, with no heavy oak influence, keeping the style clean, precise and mineral-driven.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Grigio is a natural partner for seafood—think grilled prawns, steamed mussels, seared scallops or simply prepared white fish with lemon and herbs. It also works beautifully with light pasta dishes, risotto with spring vegetables, caprese salad, fresh goat cheese and antipasti platters. Serve well-chilled but not icy, ideally around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to allow its delicate aromas and minerality to emerge. Decanting is not necessary, but giving the wine a few minutes in the glass to open up will reward you with added nuance.
