Di Lenardo Monovitigno Pinot Grigio 2020

This is one of the best Pinot Grigios that rivals the famed Santa Margherita for a fraction of the cost! This white wine gem from the Friuli region of northeast Italy is from Owner/enologist Massimo di Lenardo, with over 40 hectares of vineyards. His family has cultivated vines in Ontagnano since the early 1800's. This Pinot Grigio comes from one of the winery's four vineyards, Vigne dai Vieris. The grapes are picked by hand. This tasty Pinot Grigio is straw yellow in color with a nose of pears, bananas, apples, apricots and acacia. It is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, good structure and rich flavors of apples, pears, quince and almonds. Unoaked. The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation on the lees for added richness and complexity. The wine is well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 3-5 years.
