Analysis
Pinot Grigio has become a go-to wine for many seeking a glass of crisp white wine at their local bar or restaurant. Pinot Grigio is produced in much of Italy but many of the better examples are grown in the north. Domanda Pinot Grigio is made in the delle Venezie near the picturesque city of Venice. Pinot Grigio should always be fresh so seek out a bottle that has a vintage two years or less from the current year. 86 points out of 100.
How to Enjoy
This is a great aperitif that can also pair nicely with summer salads and roasted chicken.
