Italo Cescon Pinot Grigio “Il Tralcetto” 2023

Made in Veneto, northern Italy, Italo Cescon’s “Il Tralcetto” Pinot Grigio is named for the little twig tied by hand to each bottle—a nod to tradition and the vine. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed before a cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatic clarity. The 2023 vintage captures the variety’s signature lightness and poise with a touch of texture and personality.

Bouquet
Fresh and floral with aromas of white pear, citrus blossom, green apple and acacia. A hint of almond and hay adds a gentle savoury nuance.

Palate
Dry and vibrant with crisp acidity and a soft, rounded texture. Flavours of lemon, pear and apple are balanced by a subtle mineral thread and a clean, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing
A versatile match for seafood, grilled vegetables, creamy risotto or herbed chicken. Also pairs well with light pasta dishes and soft cheeses.

Interesting Fact
The tralcetto, or vine twig, tied around each bottle is a hallmark of the Cescon family’s commitment to authenticity and tradition—making this Pinot Grigio not just elegant, but uniquely expressive of its place and producer.
