You'll get the aromas of chopped herb, lemon and yellow rose. The mouthfeel is zesty and bright. Highly recommended at this low price. ------------------------------------------ Wine Enthusiast April 2010 Pinot Grigio 2008 - Top 10 Under $10, Wine Enthusiast ------------------------------------------

Rating

2010: 86 Points - Monica Lerner, Wine Enthusiast: "You can’t beat the low price of this Sicilian Pinot Grigio. This food-friendly white would pair with fried calamari, shrimp cocktail or even sushi, thanks to the wine’s easy aromas of tangerine, citrus and fragrant white flower."

Wine maker notes

The grapes are manually harvested in mid-August. The grapes are de-stemmed and the resultant must is rapidly chilled to 46˚F on its way to the press. Some portions of the fruit are given skin contact in order to extract flavor and body. After a very gentle press, the juice is cold settled prior to fermentation with selected yeasts at 59 – 64˚F in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
