Il Cavaliere

2010 Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio

Gabbiano Il Cavaliere is a captivating white wine from the Delle Venezie region, showcasing the delightful characteristics of Pinot Grigio. With its luminous straw-yellow hue, this vintage exudes freshness and vitality. On the nose, it presents an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral notes that create an inviting profile. The palate reveals a lively acidity that energizes the wine, while delivering a medium body that ensures balance without overwhelming the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, allowing for a refreshing and vibrant experience. As a food-friendly option, this Pinot Grigio is ideal for pairing with light seafood dishes or crisp salads, making it a versatile addition to any gathering.

Region:


Delle Venezie

Part of the larger Tre Venezie IGT area, delle Venezie offers high quality and more regional character through tighter production rules. The region covers the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino areas—a large swathe of northeastern Italy lying between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Fresh mountain breezes and cool sea air help temper the sunshine here and maintain fresh acidity in the wines, while day-night temperature variation brings aromatic intensity. As well as Pinot Grigio (which accounts for seven out of every ten bottles made), Pinot Noir does well too. Also look out for sparkling Pinot Grigio Spumante and Frizzante.
