Girlan 2007 SelectArt Sauvignon (Alto Adige)
- Online Exclusive
- $39
There is a lot of plump citrus fruit here such as pink grapefruit and sweet lemon. Green shadings of chopped herb and tomato leaf appear in the background, giving this Italian Sauvignon dimension and personality. It also offers good density in the mouth for possible pairings with fish and pasta.

Girlan 2005 Altopiano Pinot Grigio (Alto Adige)
- $16
Sweet yellow melon, honeysuckle, pear and peach are delivered first, followed by lemon zest and lingering honey-like flavors. This is an attractive ensemble with clean acidity; pair with pasta salads or light fish dishes.

Girlan 2006 Indra Sauvignon (Alto Adige)
- $20
This wine offers a nice mix of typical Sauvignon aromas such as fresh fruit, sage and tomato leaf, and also appears less sharp than other versions of the grape with low-key acidity that is never pointed or thorny.

Girlan 2007 Plattenriegl Pinot Bianco (Alto Adige)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Girlan’s youthful and fragrant Pinot Bianco delivers aromas of honeydew melon and white rose. The wine is tonic and fresh in the mouth, yet has the staying power to pair with white meat or pork roasts.

Girlan 2006 Aimé Gewürztraminer (Alto Adige)
- $22
Pretty golden hues set the tone and segue into floral aromas of acacia and honey. There are some soapy, Moscato-like qualities to this aromatic white and its floral fragrances transfer to the mouth where there’s a smooth, creamy texture.

Girlan 2004 Filadonna Pinot Grigio (Alto Adige)
- $15
Better than this producer’s Valdadige Pinot Grigio thanks to its delineated crispness, fruitiness and green apple flavors. A straight shooter that’s fresh and citrusy in the mouth. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.
