White Wine by Plozner from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The Pinot Grigio grapes are characterized by a rather dark color: thus, vinification occurs without skin maceration, resulting in the wine's intense straw yellow hue. The elegant, fragrant bouquet is characterfully Friulian, quite distinct from other Pinot Gris varietals: very fresh and appealing, reminiscent of apples and exotic fruits, in time it takes on pleasant nuances of dried fruit & hay; good body, full, mellow flavors, balanced and elegant.

White Wine by Banfi from Tuscany, Italy. San Angelo Pinot Grigio is an elegant wine of pale-straw color, with an intense, fruity aroma, followed by a clean, rich, refreshing taste. These characteristics distinguish the unique and aristocratic San Angelo Pinot Grigio from its northern counterparts. San Angelo Pinot Grigio is a delightful complement to light fare, seafood and simple veal and poultry dishes. Above all, it is a superb aperitif. Fresh lemon-lime aromas along with grapefruit and a hint of vanilla. Crisp acids join green apple and grapefruit flavors. The finish is soft and sweet with a light minerallike dryness.

White Wine by Masi from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. 75% Pinot Grigio, 25% Verduzzo Interesting color nuances with notable golden reflections. Attractive flower-fresh and ripe-fruit nose. The Verduzzo grapes ensure complexity and the Pinot Grigio grapes give their usual freshness on the palate. Marked hints of dried fruit and an aftertaste with hints of pineapple. Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is the most up-to-date Italian white wine. The richness of the perfumes and aromas of this grape cultivated at Castions di Strada, in the Friuli region, complements the structure of the native Verduzzo grape, deliberately picked slightly over-ripe and matured on plateaux. Masianco is a Supervenetian of great personality which goes well with the typical dishes of today's cuisine: hors d'oeuvres, fish and grilled white meats.
