SAN GIUSEPPE
PINOT GRIGIO VENETO

About this Selection:
“Wine Enthusiast” selected San Giuseppe Pinot Grigio as a “Great Producer,” awarding it an amazing 87 points. It was rated superior to brands retailing at more than $20 per bottle. In fact, San Giuseppe is the fastest growing Pinot Grigio in the eastern U.S.  That’s not surprising considering its light-bodied and delicate taste, a fine complement to salads, seafood, white meats, risottos and young cheeses.

The Grape:
Pinot Grigio Veneto is created from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes grown on San Giuseppe’s own estates. As Pinot Grigio is a mutation of Pinot Noir, the fruit ranges in color from golden yellow to a dark pinkish hue, some showing an entire rainbow of colors on their skins. The grapes impart plenty of crisp, delicious flavor into the finished wine.

Winemaker Notes:
San Giuseppe Pinot Grigio grapes are grown on the left bank of the river Piave in Northern Italy. By harvesting these grapes at their peak maturity, winemakers take advantage of the natural gifts of the fruit. Vinified “white” by removing the skins from the juice, the wine of these carefully picked grapes are destined to become a favorite at the dinner table.

Tasting Notes:
Delicately fragrant and mildly floral, San Giuseppe Pinot Grigio boasts a pale, straw-like yellow color with a hint of reflective gold.  Its silk-like texture, combined with a light-bodied and delicate taste, awakens the palate with intense fruit flavor that is instantly refreshing. This white wine best displays its unique bounty when well chilled.
