Italy
Award-winning, fruit-forward white inspired by the cliffside castles of Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Castello Specchio
Pinot Grigio
Varietal: Pinot Grigio
ABV: 12.1%
Region: Italy
MSRP: $19.00
Silver medal winner that is Inspired by the remarkable cliffside castles of northeastern Italy. Castello Specchio is a bold, fruit-forward white wine rich with the flavors of peaches and pears. It blends the crispness of wine fermented in stainless steel with the spicier flavors imparted by French barrel aging, producing a balanced white perfect for everyday enjoyment.
REGION:
Nestled between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Friuli-Venezia Giulia produces Italy’s finest white wines. This is thanks in large part to the drastic day-night temperature variation caused by the cooling influence of the Adriatic. The hot days ripen the grapes, while the mild nights preserve their acidity, resulting in fruit that retains a strong but refined character.

WINE REGION:
Italy
While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
