Lagaria, Vigneti Delle Dolomiti (Alto Adige, Italy) Pinot Grigio Ramato 2018

 The Pinot Grigio vineyards from which this wine are sourced are located in Northern Italy, surrounded by the dramatic Dolomite Mountains, and if high wind-blown mountains had flavor, this fresh, stony, crisp, aromatic and bracing wine would embody it.  “Ramato” is a pale, delicately pink color with a subtle touch of gray (“grigio”), while the flavor profile hints at citrus and crunchy apple.  Lovely any time of year, Lagaria’s Pinot Grigio seems especially refreshing on a warm summer day.
