Winery Review: "The Redmont-Di Tonno family settled in Abruzzo decades ago to grow the Pinot Grigio grape sustainably in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. Our desire is to finely craft authentic wines of great elegance. Enjoy."

Wine Folly: Page 149 of the Wine Folly book describes the Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio) grape variety. This grape is known for its "zesty white wines". Overall, my experience with this wine matched the general description of this variety. The book describes this grape as low in body and tannins and higher in acidity. One of the common descriptors of this grape is "crushed gravel", which I did not taste. However, I am now very curious as to how this flavor would be in a wine.

My Review: This wine had distinct floral notes from first inspection. This is also detected from taste. Overall, it was dry, but very lightly and was not overwhelming. I did not really detect this very much but there was almost a creamy finish. I did not pair this wine with anything but enjoyed it, nevertheless. I would consider buying and drinking this wine again.
