Pinot Grigio thrives in northern Italy’s Alto Adige region, where it takes on a personality not seen elsewhere in Italy except perhaps Friuli. Zemmer’s Riserva is one of the best, showing richness, texture and precision that lifts it out of the realm of the ordinary. Notes of white flower, citrus and stone fruit with a touch of spice supply the charm, and the lingering finish will invite another sip.
