Pinot Grigio
Italy’s best Pinot Grigios come from the northeast near Venice. Principe dei Conti’s example comes from the village of Treppo Grande in the hilly Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region near the Slovenian border. At the foot of the Julian Alps, this part of Friuli experiences warm days and cool nights, yielding grapes with vibrant acidity and fresh fruit flavors.
This Pinot Grigio is straw yellow with green highlights. On the nose, this wine is rich and flavorful, displaying an ample bouquet with hints of almond. The taste is dry, smooth, and harmonious, and it keeps a good acidity with great fruitiness.
