Alpine Freshness in Italian Pinot Grigio

Northern Italy is known for its crisp, mineral laden white wines, especially Pinot Grigio. Mezzacorona has been turning out the taste of terroir for more than a century. 

The 2024 Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie is grown on the limestone slopes of the Dolomite Mountains. The delle Venezie DOC covers a huge wine region which includes Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto, and the province of Trento. This Pinot Grigio has alcohol at the usual 12.5% abv and retails for $11.

This wine has a pale green-gold tint in the glass. The nose shows pear, green apple, and floral aromas, while the palate brings a lot of citrus minerality. The acidity is fresh and lively. If it’s too late for summer weather where you are, don’t worry. This PG will do just fine on the holiday table, especially if you do a seven fishes meal.
