Ah, Pinot Grigio. Years ago this used to be the only wine I would drink. Nowadays, it just seems so…unexciting. Occasionally; however, I come across one that both reminds me of the good old days and also adds a little something more than your typical wine in this variety. (Take for example, theZonte’s Footstep Doctoress di Lago from Australia.) Today’s wine from Italy is a perfect example of a tasty Pinot Grigio that is far from boring.
The 2010 Barone Fini Valdadige Pinot Grigio begins with a really nice and aromatic bouquet of fruit (citrus), flowers and a little honey. The wine tastes of crisp citrus, apple and lemon zest and has just about the perfect level of sweetness and a nice smooth texture. The surprisingly long finish is also very good featuring a little minerality and citrus zest. Molto Bene!
