There is no domestic Pinot Grigio that’s really comparable to this one sourced from Trentino or other parts of northern Italy. There is a freshness and lithe spirit about the Italian renditions that can’t be found in warmer climes. This is a fine example, showing peach, pear and lemon zest in both aroma and flavor profiles, and the bright acidity keeps the flavors pulsing. Color me Italian!
