Tasting Notes
Straw yellow in colour with a light greenish hue, the wine has an attractive nose, presenting aromas of pears and citrus, flavours that follow onto a light yet vibrant palate, with a bright acidity and a long mineral finish. Pinot Grigio Della Venezie DOC Organic is a perfect aperitif, as well as an accompaniment for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
