Wine Notes:

A traditional old world style classic from the area where Pinot Grigio originated in Italy.

This wine is a true classic from one of the foremost wine producing regions for quality, and the production of Pinot Grigio, in northern Italy. The vineyards for our Lasorda Pinot Grigio are located in the municipalities of Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone, where exist the original and ancient areas of production of Soave and Pinot Grigio, known in Italy as the Historic Area; the winery is located in the heart of this region.

Winemaker Notes:

Made of select 100% Pinot Grigio, and having wonderful character and structure, this wine displays a pure straw color with golden reflections. On the nose it explodes with a pleasant bouquet of citrus fruit that is wide, full, and persistent. On the palate the delicious citrus flavors merge with accents of minerals and florals to produce a bolder, richer version of this classic wine. The bright, crisp, full flavors are achieved by having longer contact with the skins during fermentation, which is the old world style of making Pinot Grigio.

This wine may be enjoyed for 2-3 years during which time it will retain all its freshness.

Pairing:

Pairs well with fish, shellfish, roasted white meats, poultry, pasta, and simply by the glass.
