Valdadige, Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalySanta Margherita makes a lot of pinot grigio and is one of the biggest grigio brands in the world. On the plus side, it has some attractive citrus and crunchy pear with slim, clean lines. On the back side, the finish hints at cardboard and is quite short, dropping off without giving you a sense of completion. Ready to drink and simple if you are looking for a quick white wine hit with a seafood appetizer.Tasted: 24 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:
Valdadige, Pedemonte Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, ItalyYes, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is the greatest selling grigio on the planet, and yes, they sell countless millions of bottles. It's even said they produce more pinot grigio than is possibly grown in Veneto. Hm. From 150 - 300m in the Valle dell'Adige, this was cool fermented in stainless, where it remained for a short time before bottling. Crunchy pear, Asian pear, and light citrus rule a steely and clinical palate, with a light dusting of spice on the short, snappy finish. Very basic, and you're well suited to look elsewhere.Tasted: 21 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:
