Producer Information

This top value Pinot Grigio reflects the expertise of the acclaimed Alois Lageder winery, who produce RIFF together with their partner growers from mountain vineyards in the Veneto region of Italy. The name, RIFF, comes from the German word for reef, reflecting the ancient oceanic origins of the Dolomites; where the rugged Northern Italian Alps lie today, there was once, 220 million years ago, an ocean filled with colorful coral reefs. As the sea retreated over the course of millions of years fossilized coral reefs turned into an impressive mountain landscape. Today the rock layers are still full of hidden fossils, such as crabs, mussels and the nautilus, telling of a time gone by. Sustainable agriculture is very important to the Alois Lageder winery, and they were excited to announce, after many years of working with their grower partners to convert to organic farming, that Riff became certified organic with the 2021 vintage. The 2021 RIFF wine label has also been updated. It still reflects the Nautilus, reminiscent of its ancient origins, but simplified into six color fields, representing the mathematical perfection of the golden spiral. This balance is what Lageder strive for in this wine.
