Masi, Delle Venezie IGT (Veneto, Italy) Pinot Grigio & Verduzzo 2016

 This fragrant white wine is definitely a charmer.  It may seem light and inconsequential at first, but give it a few seconds and it opens up, unfurling both beautiful aromas and subtle yet complex flavors spiked with lime and lemon zest.  It is crisp and refreshing — that’s the Pinot Grigio talking — and at the same time appealing round and textured thanks to the addition of semi-dried indigenous Verduzzo grapes.  Enjoy it as an aperitif or serve it with seafood (grilled calamari, for example) or with creamy pasta or poultry dishes.
