Region: Venezie
Country: Italy

Winery Review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: This probably one of the best pinot grigio I have ever had (for under $10). I don't drink much pinot grigio but this really went well with my palate. It was light on the nose with some strawberry aromas. The taste wasn't too sweet but wasn't too dry. A little hint of acidity right away but it fades quickly. There is nothing over powering about this white wine, which I really like. Many whites that I taste are too oaky or too fruity but this one was just right.
I did not eat while tasting this wine.
