Winery Review: Escape to Italy with our Pinot Grigio sourced from Trentino. Full and complex, this wine has a nose that hints of pineapple, pears and sweet lemons. Tropical fruits are integrated with the zest of citrus fruits and give way to a creamy mid-palate. We achieved depth and complexity through a combination of winemaking methods. First, grapes were hand-picked, de-stemmed and crushed prior to undergoing cool fermentation in steel tanks and an extended maceration. A small portion of the wine was made with the traditional passito method: we dried harvested grapes on straw mats for several weeks, then gently pressed and fermented them before blending.
My review: Actually surprised how good it was. My roommate's girlfriend bought it and I copped a nice sniff and sip from her. It had a very fruity smell, a calming fruity smell. Kinda apple like with a hint of raspberry. Tasted really full for a white wine but also very light and not too sweet. I really enjoyed this wine. I also had corn with this wine. Very very good. Complemented it well.
