Complex and stylish with well-balanced, silky tannins and rich in extract.
BANFI SAN ANGELO PINOT GRIGIO
Pale-straw color, with an intense, fruity aroma, followed by a clean, rich, refreshing taste. (Light fare, seafood, poultry, as an aperitif).
MASO CANALI PINOT GRIGIO
All grapes were hand harvested, followed by a gentle pressing to extract the fresh fruit flavor while imparting minimal color from the skins. After slight clarification, the juice was fermented clean, in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with select yeast added at a temperature of 20°C. To intensify the tropical characteristics of the wine, all grapes are from late harvest (surmaturo) Pinot Grigio grapes. Additionally, 6% of the blend is from late harvest Pinot Grigio grapes that were dried on racks, vinified separately, and added to the final blend. This time-intensive “Passito” process gives the wine its unique body, complexity, and tropical fruit flavor. Finally, the wine was cold stabilized, filtered and bottled to retain the crisp, fruity characteristics of the wine and to avoid malolactic fermentation.
NOBILO SAUV/BLANC
"Bright and lively, with herbal pear and lime flavors that go on and on. Feels round, but it's balanced with zingy acidity. Drink now. 120,000 cases imported." 88 PTS WS.
BABICH SAUV/BLANC
This wine displays lifted tropical fruits with notes of lantana and capsicum. There is a passionfruit entry on the palate coupled with citrus and wild cape gooseberry notes that linger, and are quite literally mouthwatering! This is a balanced wine, with a texture that will match well with food but is equally enjoyable on its own.
