Mari e Monti

From the mountains to the sea — in one journey.

Most people think Italian white wine means Pinot Grigio or Soave. But Italy is a whole landscape of light and texture. This trio takes you from alpine freshness to coastal calm: from the stony peaks of Trentino, through the rolling hills of Lombardy, down to the sunlit coast of Puglia. Three regions, three grapes, three moods. All equally Italian — all anything but ordinary.

Terre Bianche — Chardonnay (The Mountain)

From the foothills of the Dolomites, where altitude meets stone. Bright and precise, with floral and balsamic notes, layered minerality, and a mountain-driven elegance. A Chardonnay with edge and altitude — clean, confident, and full of character.

Elivià — Pinot Grigio (The Food Lover)

From Oltrepò Pavese, Italy’s quiet gastronomic heart. Richer and deeper than the usual Pinot Grigio — golden fruit, a touch of spice, and a textured finish that begs for food. Proof that this grape can be serious without losing its charm.

Greco — Puglia (The Coastal One)

From vineyards near the Adriatic, kissed by salt and sun. Aromas of white flowers and apricot lead to a smooth, dry palate with a gentle almond note. Elegant, refreshing, quietly southern — like a sea breeze in a glass.

Why this trio works:

Because Italian white wine deserves a reintroduction. Here you get mountain precision, northern depth, and southern charm — three distinct expressions of place, united by balance and authenticity.

Perfect for:

• Long lunches that turn into dinners
  
• People who think all Pinot Grigio tastes the same
  
• People who think they know all about Italy
  
• Discovering what “fresh” really means in three different ways
  

Best served chilled · 8–12°C

De Vigili (Trentino) A family estate in the Piana Rotaliana, where the Dolomites rise above the vineyards. Francesco De Vigili builds on a tradition dating back to the 19th century, crafting wines that reflect the precision and minerality of their alpine origin.

Le Fiole (Oltrepò Pavese) Silvia and Elisa Piaggi call themselves the female side of Oltrepò. With their Pinot Nero and Pinot Grigio, they bring a new, elegant voice to a region long dominated by male traditions, elevating local grapes with refinement and personality.

Casaltrinità (Puglia) A cooperative where local growers work together as equals. Their democratic approach and shared expertise result in wines that are as powerful as they are honest, proudly marked by the Maltese cross on every label.

Trentino At the foothills of the Dolomites, vineyards thrive in altitude and chalky soils. The cool alpine climate gives Chardonnay a precise, mineral edge, resulting in mountain whites with purity, elegance, and depth.

Oltrepò Pavese Known as Italy’s Burgundy, this hilly area in Lombardy is also home to distinctive Pinot Grigio. Grown at altitude, the wines show more body and complexity than the lighter styles from elsewhere, proving Pinot Grigio can be truly gastronomic.

Puglia In the far south, vineyards stretch toward the sea. Here, grapes like Greco reflect the coastal influence with freshness, salinity, and subtle almond notes — whites that are expressive, characterful, and made for Mediterranean tables.
