Pinot Grigio

This Pinot Grigio from the Tre Venezie area in Northeastern Italy captures afternoons in piazzas near alps, with refreshing sea breezes cooling down hot summer days.

Tasting Notes

Fresh fruit aromas of pears, white peach and citrus.  Well balanced with a zesty acidity.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with friends while lounging pool-side or over light hors d’oeuvres, salads and simple pastas.
