ABOUT THIS WINE:

Mille Cristaletto

Mille Cristaletto

Pinot Grigio

Varietal: Pinot Grigio
ABV: 12.3%
Region: Venezia, Italy
MSRP: $22.00

Inspired by the gleaming surface of the Adriatic Sea, Mille Cristaletto is a bright and citrusy Pinot Grigio from Italy’s most renowned white wine region. Produced from two distinct Pinot Grigio terroirs, Mille Cristaletto is a careful balance of fruit flavor and gentle acidity, with a saline base that evokes the crisp air of the northern Italian seaside.

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.

Outline of Italy

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.

TASTING NOTES:

Mineral

Produced along the shores of the Adriatic, Mille Cristaletto is best paired with bright seafood dishes. The subtle aromas of stone fruit highlight delicately flavored dishes like grilled sea bass, while notes of lemon will perfectly complement calamari or oysters.
