REVIEW
“An extremely elegant wine is the Pinot Grigio with its multifaceted fruity bouquet. It convinces with its mild, round finish and balanced acidity."

TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Clear light straw;
Nose: Lemon, wet stones, peach stone, almond;
Palate: Honeydew melon, tart apples, light body.
Despite the tart apples the acid level in this wine is only medium-plus. It is enough to be lively and a worthy foil of cream sauces on pasta or fish but not so high to obliterate the subtle flavor components.
