Giannitessari, Pinot Grigio delle Venezie, 2024

Superb Pinot Grigio from the Veneto 

On the nose, Gianni Tessari Pinot Grigio delights with aromas of ripe pear, offering a touch of sweetness and succulence complemented by hints of lemon citrus, adding a zesty and vibrant dimension. A standout features of this Pinot Grigio is its lingering finish, which is often absent in wines of this varietal. A balanced acidity, which provides structure and freshness without overwhelming the palate.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2027

Food Pairing: Salads, chicken, fish and seafood. It also works wonders on salty pasta sauces like pesto, Bolognese or those with salty Italian cheeses like Pecorino.
