Nose

Crisp apple comes first, then apricot, white flowers and a light touch of citrus. Behind them sit dried linden blossom and a hint of pollen. Le Vigne di Zamò ferments it in steel tanks at a controlled 18°C, and it never sees oak.

Citrusy fruitCitrusy fruit

ApricotApricot
Green AppleGreen Apple
Palate

Dry, fresh and nimble, with medium body and good warmth. Six months on its fine yeast, stirred every week, gives the middle a softer, fuller feel.

Finish

The finish is clean and crisp. The estate skips the second, softening fermentation, so the sharper, apple-like acidity carries through to the end.

Overall

Le Vigne di Zamò sells it two months after bottling, ready to drink, and we would open the 2024 between 2025 and 2027. Drinkers rate it well, and it suits an aperitif, shellfish or a seafood risotto.

Wine fit score

Where Le Vigne di Zamò's ZamòGrigio fits best

ZamòGrigio's top cards are Best intro to this style and Best with food. It is dry, fresh and unoaked, with crisp apple and apricot, and it suits shellfish and seafood risotto.

Best intro to this style 8.2/10

Dry, fresh and unoaked, with crisp apple, apricot and white flowers: an easy way into Friuli whites for anyone who already likes Pinot Grigio.

Best with food 7.8/10

Fresh, dry and medium-bodied, it suits shellfish, steamed white fish and seafood risotto, and it has the weight for roast chicken and aged cheeses. Chilli heat is the clash.

Best everyday bottle 7.0/10

Easy to enjoy midweek with fish, chicken or as an aperitif. At £18.40 it is more a weeknight treat than a daily bottle.

Best value 6.2/10

At £18.40 it sits mid-range for a Friuli Pinot Grigio. That is fair for an unoaked white rested six months on its fine yeast, though not a bargain.

Best for an occasion 4.2/10

Good for an aperitif or a seafood supper with friends. It is a fresh, young white rather than a bottle for a big celebration.

Best for cellar 2.5/10

Made to drink young: it goes on sale two months after bottling, and we would open the 2024 by 2027. Not a white to lay down for years.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Le Vigne di Zamò: from five hectares in 1978 to 65 today

The story began in 1978, when Tullio Zamò bought five hectares of vines on the Rocca Bernarda hill. Today the estate at Rosazzo, near Manzano in the province of Udine, farms 65 hectares, about 90 football pitches.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.

Friuli/Friuli Venezia Giulia is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

Drivers
2 up / 2 down
Main factor
UK duty and VAT inside the £18.40 price
  1. 01

    UK duty and VAT inside the £18.40 price

    Cost up

    Of the £18.40, a little over £6 is UK tax. VAT is £3.07, and duty is £2.99 at 13% alcohol or £3.22 at 14%, the two strengths given for the 2024.

  2. 02

    Six months on its fine yeast, stirred every week

    Cost up

    Before bottling, Le Vigne di Zamò rests the wine six months on its fine yeast and stirs it every week. That is extra tank time and cellar work before the wine can be sold.

  3. 03

    Steel tanks only, no oak barrels

    Cost down

    Le Vigne di Zamò ferments it in steel tanks at 18°C and ages it in steel too. There are no oak barrels to buy or fill for this wine.

  4. 04

    Sold young, two months after bottling

    Cost down

    It goes on sale two months after bottling. The estate's Tullio Zamò Pinot Bianco waits until three years after the harvest, so this wine ties up the cellar for months, not years.

Food Pairing

Seafood, shellfish and Friuli classics for ZamòGrigio

Dry and fresh with medium body, ZamòGrigio is at home with shellfish, steamed white fish and seafood risotto. It also has the weight for roast chicken and Friuli's frico.

Aromatic bridge Strong match

Seafood risotto and shellfish pasta

ZamòGrigio, a fresh, dry Friuli Pinot Grigio, brings apple, apricot and white flowers that sit easily beside sweet prawns and clams. Its freshness keeps a creamy seafood risotto tasting light to the last spoonful.

Try with: Seafood risotto · Spaghetti with clams · Prawn linguine

Acidity matching Strong match

Shellfish and steamed white fish

Crisp acidity works like a squeeze of lemon. In a dry Friuli Pinot Grigio like ZamòGrigio, it lifts the sweet flesh of crab and mussels and keeps steamed sea bass tasting clean.

Try with: Mussels · Crab · Oysters · Steamed sea bass

Fat cutting Good match

Frico, baccalà mantecato and squid ink risotto

Frico is crisp Montasio cheese, and baccalà mantecato is salt cod whipped with olive oil. The fresh acidity of ZamòGrigio, a dry Friuli Pinot Grigio, cuts through that richness, so each mouthful feels lighter.

Try with: Frico · Baccala Mantecato · Squid ink risotto · More pairings →

Body matching Good match

Roast chicken and white meats

With medium body and good warmth, ZamòGrigio, a dry Friuli Pinot Grigio, has enough weight for roast chicken and turkey without hiding them. A thinner white would fade next to crisp skin and pan juices.

Try with: Roast chicken · Turkey escalopes · Pork loin with sage

Salt balance Good match

Salty starters and an aperitivo

Salt makes a dry white taste rounder and fruitier. Next to ham, olives or salted almonds, the apple and apricot in ZamòGrigio, a fresh Friuli Pinot Grigio, come forward, which makes it an easy aperitif.

Try with: Prosciutto di San Daniele · Green olives · Salted almonds · Fish crudo

Avoid Clash

Hot chilli and fiery curries

Chilli heat strips the fruit from a dry, unoaked white like ZamòGrigio and leaves it tasting thin and sharp, while the burn feels hotter. With spicy food, a gently sweet, low-alcohol Moscato d'Asti copes far better.

Skip with: Chicken madras · Kung pao chicken · Goan fish curry · Szechuan chicken · Pairing guide →

Drinking + cellar

Keeping ZamòGrigio: drink the 2024 by 2027

This is a young white, not one for long keeping. Le Vigne di Zamò sells it two months after bottling, and we would drink the 2024 by 2027. Until then, keep it somewhere cool and dark.

Common Questions

It is a dry white Friuli DOC wine made from 100% Pinot Grigio by Le Vigne di Zamò, whose estate is at Rosazzo, near Manzano. It is a different wine from the estate's Pinot Grigio Ramato, a Friuli Colli Orientali DOC whose grapes soak a night on their skins.

It is dry, fresh and nimble, with crisp apple, apricot, white flowers and a touch of citrus. It has medium body, good warmth and a clean, crisp finish.

It is made in steel tanks, with no oak. The grapes are picked at the start of September, destemmed and pressed, and the juice settles for a day. It ferments for about 15 days at 18°C, then rests six months on its fine yeast and is stirred every week. Le Vigne di Zamò skips the second, softening fermentation and sells the wine two months after bottling.

Shellfish, steamed white fish and seafood risotto suit it best. It also works as an aperitif and with fish starters, roast chicken, aged cheeses and Friuli's frico.

Drink it young: we would open the 2024 from 2025 to 2027. Le Vigne di Zamò sells it two months after bottling, ready to drink, and it is not a wine for long keeping.

The 2024 is sold by the one shop on this page, at £18.40 a bottle, so there is no price to compare here. Of that price, a little over £6 is UK duty and VAT.
