J. Hofstätter makes some of the best Pinot Nero in the Alto Adige, their Barthenau vineyard “S. Urbano” bottling. This blurb isn’t about that, however, as it’s typically available only in very small quantities and usually retails for around $75. J. Hofstätter also has one of the largest private wine estates in the Alto Adige, something they leverage to produce a line of more value-priced wines still made with care on the estate. This is quintessential Alpine Pinot Grigio: light, crisp and fresh, a touch of minerality. Pear predominates with a bit of citrus and some white flowers on the nose. This is delicate, refined wine that one should be careful to avoid overpowering, but it would go quite well with oysters on the half shell or raclette, and will also shine as a pre-prandial drink served with creamy soft cheeses (Brie, Delice de Bourgogne, Morbier), salted nuts, and dried fruits.
