The Via Veneto Pinot Grigio from the esteemed Veneto region is a captivating white wine that embodies the essence of its vintage. With a light-bodied structure, it opens with a bouquet of refreshing citrus and pear notes that are beautifully complemented by a delicate minerality. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall crispness of the wine, making it a delightful choice for warm afternoons or paired with light seafood dishes. Its fruit intensity is prominent yet not overwhelming, providing a harmonious balance that is both inviting and elegant. Although this wine is dry, it offers a beautifully rounded finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate, showcasing the elegance of Italian winemaking. A lovely example of Pinot Grigio, this vintage is a true testament to the charm of the Veneto region.

Veneto

The Veneto (pronounced VEN-uh-toh) super-region in northeastern Italy is the engine room of Italian wine. The area sweeps inland of the Gulf of Venice from the Slovenian border west to Verona. It is a transitional region, sitting between the Alpine north and the drier central lands; Veneto enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate that makes it a haven for vineyards. Veneto is famous for its prosecco and prosecco rosé, but also produces crisp, aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio and mouthwatering reds such as Sangiovese and Merlot.
