The first vines from this variety arrived in 1832 so it has
been around a while but it is only recently, the last 10 years, has it really
taken off. Generally these wines are released very young but wineries are
experimenting with lees contact and barrel aging so expect some wild new wines
to emerge.
Pizzini Pinot Grigio 2013
The Pizzini effort is built for summer drinking and loving
and it still possess plenty of flavour in the form of pear skin, lemon rind and
spice. The light weight palate works perfectly in the middle of the day with a
nice light meal yet it still has a richer mid palate with a hint of creaminess
coming through which takes it up the interest ladder. This wine is a very good
effort for a wine under 20 bucks.
