Pinot Grigio exhibits traits seldom achieved at this level, with pear fruit, mineral notes and a creamy texture. The grapes are vinified and aged in stainless steel but, to engender further complexity and depth, the wine undergoes bâtonnage on the lees. It is the perfect aperitif white wine but matches well with all types of fish and shellfish. Merlot is full of fragrant and fleshy red cherry and wild berry fruit, integrated with subtle spice and a mellow medium body. A versatile food wine that is a great accompaniment to tomato-based dishes and pizza.
