The Bruna winery is situated in the Ligurian hills, in the hamlet Ranzo di Borgo, land inwards from the coast from Alassio & Albenga, called the Riviera Ligure di Ponente. This 100% Pigato, is made from a selection of grapes from the old vineyard ‘Le Russeghine’. This Pigato is a minerally, very fresh white wine with lots of white fruit, apple, pear, some peach, fine herbs and a long finish. — 2 years ago
Yummmm, the poetic potential of PV is on display here. Solid build by Shaps team of a really special estate program near Fieldale-Collinsville. Classic and varietally correct! Not heavy-handed, rather more feminine in the same way CF can have a softer side. — 3 years ago

Found another case,
I think it’s even better with little age on it now, I wasn’t expecting to find more of the 16.

Peter Zemmer is the only Alto Adige producer with Riserva certification for Pinot Grigio, making the Riserva “Giatl” 2016 the Alto Adige’s first and only DOC Riserva Pinot Grigio, and one of the few mountain-style Pinot Grigios from anywhere in the world. Alto Adige DOC regulations require a minimum 24 months’ aging before release; neighboring Trentino requires just 12 months of aging.
“Giatl,” meaning “little property” or “little vineyard” in the local dialect, refers to a nearby hamlet of the same name. The wine originates in “Grand Cru” terroir south and southwest of the village, a half-moon-shaped outcrop rising 13- to 16-feet above the surrounding area, the company says. The site spans 24 acres, of which two-thirds are owned or leased by the Zemmer family. Grapes come from the best six acres, four parcels with vines ranging 15- to 30-years in age. Here, instead of the sandy soil prevalent in surrounding vineyards, sand, shingle and chalk dominate. Heat-storing rocky sediment facilitates a longer hang-time. High chalk content gives otherwise poor soil the optimal pH value for nutrient intake by the vines. — a year ago
