Wine Review: This soft and fresh Italian white wine is a pale white gold color with aromas of white peach, Bartlett pear and wet stone. I also picked up a faint citrus note. On the palate, this wine is dry and uncomplicated, and has a round, slightly mouth-coating texture. It is medium bodied, and moderately acidic. I found flavors of green apple, lemon, and peach pit minerality. There are some light green herbal notes in the dry, moderate length finish. Serve this Pinot Grigio chilled with fried fish tacos. – Mark

Winemaker Notes: Made from 100% Pinot Grigio, the wine is dry, crisp, and full-bodied with refreshing acidity and a clean finish. It is a true expression of the varietal and the renowned Friuli region's terroir. It displays a nose of rosewater and lychee. On the palate, it is dry with of notes of apple and pear, ending in a clean, crisp finish. Perfect as an aperitive or paired with fresh fish or white meats.
