Pighin Pinot Grigio 2005 Grave del Fruili, 2006
(Friuli-Venezia Giuli, Italy)

Picture not available!   

Region: Friuli-Venezia Giuli is a mountainous area tucked away in the northeast corner Italy, bordering on Austria and Slovenia. Grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris), Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc), Chardonnary and Sauvignon Blanc. Amongst reds Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are widely grown

Grape/Varietal composition: 100% Pinot Griogio or as the rest of the world says Pinot Gris.

My notes: I had the opportunity to drink this wine, and it turns out to be quite crisp, citrusy (melony), and could go with almost anything. This paired well with seafood and chips.

Buy Factor: It makes a good gift at around $20/bottle for almost any occassion that you pick off the shelf.

Cost: $20.00
