Az. Vinicola Depuppi Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio from Vinicola Depuppi in Friuli, Italy. A bright, intense straw-yellow color with amber hues. An elegant nose with hints of orange blossom and fruity notes of apple, pear, and exotic fruit. The palate is beautifully balanced, with great subtlety and a satisfying, full finish. Excellent with seafood salads and rice dishes.

Pinot Gris, the grapes get a light pink-grey colour when they are fully ripe. The character varies from lush and fat to light and lively. The pinot gris provides spiciness in the wine. In Alsace, the pinot gris is harvested late and a rich, complex wine is made from it. In Italy, where the grape is called Pinot Grigio, they harvest early and make a lively, fresh wine. The grape is also successful in Germany and is used to make wines in Alsatian style and with a semi-dry taste. Here the grape is called Ruländer, grauer burgunder (Grauburgunder) or grauklevner. Ruländer is widely planted in the Baden wine region.
