Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia - White
($7).
Nice! Juicy citrus and crisp apple fruit
mingle with aromatic apricot and refreshing
mineral notes. Slurpably delish. Ready
to drink now. (Italian Connection 04/05)
($7). Crisp apple and smooth tropical
fruit flavors and aromas are laced with
toasty oak and a touch of vanilla. Nothing
overly complex, but crisp and refreshing.
Ready to drink now. (Italian Connection
04/05)
($7). Medium bodied and refreshing, with
juicy citrus and crisp apple flavors on
a smooth frame. Easy to enjoy any time!
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine 02/05)
($14). Uncomplicated but
simply satisfying, this blend of Pinot
Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc offers juicy
citrus and green apple fruit, with just
a trace of mineral dryness. Ready to drink
now. (Italian Connection 06/06)
($16). This is what I
want in a good Italian Pinot Grigio --
crisp citrus and acidity, but not so lean
that it disappears. Clean finish, good
price. Ready to drink now. (Wine Tasting
Party, 08/00)
($15). Appealing for its delicate dried
apple, peach and fresh citrus flavors
that stay pretty and pick up touches of
fresh herbs and mineral through the finish.
Lovely as an aperitif or paired with shellfish
starters or antipasti. Ready to drink
now. (Weekend Wine 02/08)
($10).
Pretty, apple fresh nose leads to crisp
citrus and apple flavors. Light-bodied
and easy to gulp! Ready to drink now.
(Weekend Wine, 06/04)
($13). Easy to like, with
bright, juicy green apple and citrus notes
mingling through the refreshing finish.
Ready to drink now. (Wine Tasting 04/07)
($11). Crisp and juicy, with floral
aromas introducing melon and moderate
tropical flavors that linger through
the finish. Ready to drink now. Try
with a simple assortment of prosciutto,
green olives and fresh mozzarella. (Bargain
Wine 08/06)
($11).
Appealing nectarine and lime aromas and
flavors add up to a refreshing quaff --
and a great deal! Ready to drink now.
(Weekend Wine 08/05)
($16).
This is a beautifully balanced wine, with
orchard fruit, nuts (maybe almond? maybe
hazelnut?) and floral notes and should
drink nicely for the next couple of years.
An excellent Pinot Grigio at a good price.
(Robyn’s Picks, 10/99)
($14). Lovely ripe melon and floral
bouquet leads to bright, clean honeydew
and apple fruit. Medium-bodied, balanced
acidity, with a pleasantly lingering
finish. Very nice. Ready to drink now.
(Weekend Wine, 03/03)
($14). Very simple on the bouquet and
palate, with fresh apple and just a touch
of sweet mineral notes. Ready to drink
now. (Weekend Wine, 03/03)
($18). There’s something
about this wine that makes me want to
call it a classic Pinot Grigio. Crisp,
dry, but still fruity and complex, it
is everything you want a Pinot Grigio
to be. (Robyn’s Picks, 10/99)
($13).
Juicy pear and crisp nectarine are tinged
with lemon, staying fruity and fresh
straight through the finish. Ready to
drink now. (Italian Connection 08/07)
($13).
Light, with gentle melon and fresh citrus
flavors that linger on the moderate
finish. Ready to drink now. (Italian
Connection 12/05)
($10). Very nice, with crisp, juicy citrus
and light apple notes. Stays fresh and
light through the finish. Ready to drink
now. (Weekend Wine 02/08)
