Movia 2007 Pinot Grigio in The Wall Street Yournal

27. August 2010.

The writer says: "I had met Movia’s winemaker/proprietor Ales Kristancic in Friuli and again in New York and he’d impressed me as one of the most energetic, not to say manic, characters of my acquaintance. Here’s one of my notes from that first encounter, a quotation from Ales: “We are solar men. Our power is not money. We can find solar energy in a dark place.” I believe he was speaking about marshalling the sun’s energy in the dark recesses of a wine cellar, but who the hell knows. He also makes up a lot of words. At any rate, his wines are incredibly expressive and singular and already, in his mid 40s, he’s a legendary figure in wine circles. Like almost everything about Ales, his Pinot Grigio is larger than life, rich and concentrated with a host of exotic fruit flavors and mineral notes."
