Winemaker's Notes
Amber-shot yellow with light coppery tinges. The nose reveals a delicate structure, characterized by a wide range of clearly distinguishable floral notes. This Pinot Grigio has a supple structure, sustained by a distinct, tangy freshness. Delicate, lingering hints of white-fleshed fruit on the palate.
Best paired with subtle dishes. Perfect with fish starters or pasta and rice dishes.
