White

Pinot Grigio, Passaparola 2011

Pale lemon, almost water-white with green tinges, a clean fresh zesty nose with hints of citrus and a touch of banana on the nose, this is serious Pinot Grigio, not to be confused with generic dry white wines of the same name. This has real structure and lovely texture on the palate; it combines pear, apple and pineapple with a distinct inerality and long finish.
