The 2015 Sivi Pinot Grigio Época was aged for 24 months in 50% new French oak (the rest, three years old). It comes in at 13.7% alcohol. It handles its wood beautifully. It seems substantial, precise and focused, not quite as lively as a wholly unoaked version but still very fresh and perfectly balanced. It fills the mouth and ends with some tension. This is beautifully done. The winery says that this can hold for some 10+ years. It might well. It might even be entitled to an uptick in score if it develops and improves along the way. Either way, it's a fine bargain. While you can age this, it will drink very nicely this summer too.

Varietal: Pinot Gris

The grayish blue fruits of the Pinot Grigio grape varietal are used in the production of a very wide, and seemingly ever widening, range of quality white wines. These grapes pick up much of the features of their terroir, and as such, it isn't unusual to find find Pinot Grigio wines which have something of an alpine character, or hold slightly ashen, smoky flavors soaked up from various soils. They have a naturally high sugar content, which, depending on how they are handled and processed either leads to them producing semi-sweet wines, or drier, more fermented wines, or even wines with a relatively high alcohol content. These grapes prefer cooler climates, and as such are grown in several countries around the world which have strong oceanic breezes or shady valley regions.
