This Pinot Grigio comes from a single vineyard within the San Osvaldo estate. As a DOC wine, it must adhere to strict yield and minimum alcohol requirements, unlike the more common IGT wines that come from a blend of grapes from a broad region. The Lison-Pramaggiore DOC, near Venice, has long been known for its Pinot Grigio, and San Osvaldo is one of the area’s best producers.

This is their top-of-the-line Pinot Grigio, and a perennial favorite of ours. It comes from a single vineyard with well-drained, calcareous soils, and although there are less expensive Pinot Grigios on the market, none of them have the elegance, concentration of fruit, or balance of the San Osvaldo.

The 2006 is particularly good and, never mind Santa Margherita, this is one of the best Pinot Grigio you can find.


Tasting Notes:

A beautiful, crisp, straw-colored white that offers delicious aromas of citrus, honeysuckle and candied fruit. It is full-bodied with sensations of citrus and grapefruit throughout the palate leading to a great finish. An aperitif wine that is also delicious with light foods like fish, guacamole, hummus, pasta with clam sauce, white meats, and goat cheeses. Enjoy over the next year or two.
