Pinot Grigio 2008
IGT del Veneto


IGT Pinot Grigio: This Pinot Grigio features a delicate fruity scent and a straw yellow colour featuring greenish hues. It is a crisp and clean wine, delicate and mild, but full-bodied and complex at the same time with nuances of flowers and fruit.

 

Varietal : Pinot Grigio.  It is a hugely successful grape that originated in Bourgogne, in eastern France. Genetically the wine is related to the Pinot Bianco, which is one of the highest quality wines around the world where this grape is grown.

Tasting Notes :   A top value pinot grigio made from fruit sourced from Veneto — Italy 's prime region for quality white wines. Sur-lie matured in stainless steel tanks, reflective of the region's terroir while displaying pinot grigio's best varietal characteristics: good structure and intensity balanced by lively acidity. The vineyard sites for this particular wine contain a substantial amount of dolomite limetone, adding delightful mineral notes to the wine. The 2007 is a glassful of sunshine. Fuller and riper than many pinot grigios, this wine boasts bright acidity, clean, light fruit and limestone minerality. Refreshing and food friendly. Dry, full-bodied, mellow

Recommended Food Pairings: Excellent aperitif wine, light hors d'oeuvres and soups, consommés, seafood and white meat dishes, egg-based dishes. Very appealing.
