Masianco

2011 Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio

The Masi Masianco is a delightful Pinot Grigio from the Delle Venezie region, showcasing the vibrant character of this Italian classic. In the glass, it presents a bright, pale yellow hue with glimmers of green, indicating its freshness. This white wine is medium-bodied, offering a pleasing balance between richness and drinkability. With its crisp acidity, the Masi Masianco invigorates the palate, making it incredibly refreshing. The fruit intensity shines through with notes of ripe pear, apple, and subtle citrus, complemented by enticing hints of stone fruit. As a dry wine, it pairs beautifully with light dishes, seafood, or simply enjoyed on its own, embodying the light-hearted essence of Italian white wines. This significant expression of Pinot Grigio represents the impressive winemaking techniques of the region, making it a great choice for any occasion.

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.
