White Wines
Italy
Pinot Grigio flies out of the cellar door. Everyone seems to love its clean crisp delicate flavours, and we currently list six white and two pink examples. The Ancoras are an excellent intro to the varietal, the Pure is as it says - Pinot Grigio with "nowt taken out". The refreshing Principato has lovely floral aromas and the Tramin has complex, peach and citrus fruits and a long clean finish.
