Tasting - Pinot Grigio
This past weekend, I went out to dinner with my family and had a glass of Pinot Grigio. It was a Santa Margherita from the Adige River Valley in Italy. I told our waiter about this class and he was able to get the wine expert to tell us more about the wine. The harvest period for the grapes are the first half of September and the wine is meant to be enjoyed fresh, maybe aged for a year or 2. The glass was $19 at Mortons Steak House. From the website I learned, " In 1961, our winemaker was inspired by traditional sparkling wine vinification techniques used to ferment Pinot Grigio without skin contact". https://santamargheritawines.com/wine/pinot-grigio/ It was of the sweeter wines the restaurant had, behind moscato and I thought it was very light and airy. It was slightly citrusy and smelled of apples and maybe grapefruit. Many reviews complimented the low price for such a great quality wine and described how light it was. Many also said how this was a better Pinot Grigio
