Donini, Delle Venezie IGT (Veneto, Italy) Pinot Grigio 2020

 I suspect that Donini Pinot Grigio is the preferred “house” wine for many consumers. This Italian import has many things going for it including a very reasonable price.  With its relatively high acidity the dry white wine is consistently refreshing and tasty both as on its own and as a congenial companion to oysters and other seafood options.  The large Delle Venezie viticultural region stretches across some 18364 km2 (7,103.9 sq. mi), from the western Alps to Lake Garda, and southward towards Venice.  The vines here are almost equally divided between red and white varieties, with Pinot Grigio covering about 12% of the region.  The Donini estate has been operating in Venezie since the early 20th century.
