Pinot Grigio: The Pinot Grigio is a high quality fragrant wine, full of flavour. The gravelly soils and clumate moderated by the nearby Adriatic Sea result in wonderfully frangrant and flavorful wines. Its colour is straw yellow featuring greenish hues. The scent is delicate with nuances of flowers and fruit. It recalls Bartlett pears, bananas, and acacia flowers enveloped by a slight scent of fresh apricots. Intriguing taste with flavors of pear nectar and cinnamon. Good acid/alcohol balance with a long fruity finish.
Varietal: Pinot Grigio. Genetically related to the Pinot Bianco, which is one of the highest quality grapes in the world. Tasting Notes: Fuller and riper than many pinot grigios, this wine boasts bright acidity, clean, light fruit and limestone minerality. The bouquet defines good Grigio: forward scents of peach, melon, flowers, cream and spice. The flavors burst with ripe peach, melon, citrus and pear-like fruit with the underlying creamy texture of Pinot Grigio. The finish is crisp and minerallly clean with spice nuances ligering very nicely.This wine shows a rich character with reminiscent of pear William, banana, and acacia flowers wrapped in a slight scent of fresh apricot. Intriguing taste with pleasant flavors of pear syrup and quince peels. Good acid/alcohol balance with a long fruity finish. Recommended Food Pairings: Refreshing and food friendly. Excellent aperitif wine, light hors d'oeuvres as well as salmon and swordfish, soups, consommés, seafood and white meat dishes, egg-based dishes. Great with basil and pesto sauces.
