Forget everything you think you know about Pinot Grigio. Cantina Lavis, founded in 1850 in the heart of Trentino and a cooperative since 1948, makes the kind of Pinot Grigio that reminds you why the grape became so beloved in the first place — before the world decided it should be bland and cheap. The I Classici is a genuinely beautiful wine. The colour alone sets it apart: an intense golden yellow that hints at the richness to come. The nose is warm and inviting, with ripe stone fruit, a delicate honeyed note, and a distinctive minerality that speaks clearly of the Alpine soils of Trentino. On the palate it’s full and textured, with a long, fruity finish that lingers with real elegance. This is Pinot Grigio as it should be.
