Vintage Character Lagaria Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2024 is a DOC white from the delle Venezie appellation in north-eastern Italy, an area spanning Veneto, Trentino and Friuli Venezia Giulia that has become the reference point for modern Pinot Grigio. The 2024 vintage is best understood as a fresh, early-drinking style, with cool Alpine influences helping retain brightness and clarity in the fruit. Much of the region’s appeal lies in its mix of alluvial plains and hillside sites shaped by mountain breezes, where significant day-to-night temperature shifts help Pinot Grigio develop crisp acidity, delicate aromatics and a clean mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine shows classic notes of green apple, pear, lemon zest and white flowers, supported by a light-bodied palate and a smooth, dry, refreshing texture. The fruit profile stays precise rather than showy, with gentle citrus lift and a subtle mineral touch carrying through the finish. As a versatile, easy-to-enjoy white, it pairs especially well with grilled prawns, lemon-herb chicken, or sushi and sashimi.
Winery Background Lagaria is part of the Empson family’s long-standing work in bringing authentic Italian wines to international drinkers, with a focus on clear regional identity and reliable quality. The project takes its name from the Vallagarina area and draws on fruit from northern Italian vineyards influenced by Alpine conditions. In the cellar, the style is intentionally straightforward and purity-driven, with temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation used to preserve freshness and varietal character, sometimes followed by brief lees contact to add a little texture. That combination of accessibility, regional typicity and clean winemaking makes Lagaria a dependable introduction to delle Venezie Pinot Grigio.
