Double New from Italy

Some of our favorite table wines come from Italy. With one of the world's oldest winemaking traditions, you can always find something that's new and tasty, but still a value. That's true with Re Storto Pinot Grigio.

Re Storto Pinot Grigio is sourced from vineyards in the Northeastern provinces of Trento, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Italy's best area for white wine. The grapes were destalked and fed into a pneumatic press,  where they remained for several hours. This pre-fermentation maceration of berries and juice results in a better extract and more aromatic development. Subsequently, the grapes are gently pressed and the juice is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. After the alcoholic fermentation the wine remains for a brief period on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

The finished wine is a pale straw yellow. It has a fresh white and tropical fruit nose, with zippy acidity and a fresh fruity finish. Italy’s most famous white wine, Pinot Grigio makes for a refreshing aperitif and is equally delicious with vegetable dishes and shell fish.

We also carry the companion Re Storto Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, another outstanding value Italian red table wine.
