Giorgio Colutta farms his estate in Manzano, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli — one of Italy's finest wine regions for aromatic whites, where mineral-rich soils and a cool continental climate produce wines of exceptional freshness and character. Colutta is a passionate, meticulous winemaker who lets the grape and the terroir do the talking.
His Pinot Grigio is far removed from the bland, mass-produced versions the world has become accustomed to. Pale copper-gold in colour with aromas of pear, white peach, and a delicate almond note. The palate is textured and rounded with clean acidity and a pleasingly mineral finish. Lovely with risotto, grilled white fish, or prawn linguine.

Giorgio Colutta
The land in Colli Orientali is considered the best in Italy for Pinot Grigio, because of the climate and the (argile) soil. Giorgio Colutta’s vineyards are in three different locations, all within 5 minutes of each other. Giorgio rents some land in the hills near Manzano from a retired winemaker. When a friend of his got wind this land was available he immediately phoned Giorgio, arranged a meeting half an hour later, and the contract was signed on a scrap of paper out in the field! This vineyard is particularly beautiful with small rolling hills from which villages in Slovenia can be seen. The area of Coli Orientali del Friuli has a particular climate shaped by the geography of the region - the Adriatic sea on one side, the Alps on the other. The mountains protect it from the cold winds from the north, and its proximity to the sea tempers the summer heat. There is a big demand for land here with some of the bigger producers anxious to snap up any plots that become available.
