Gabbiano Pinot Grigio (75cl, 12%)

Gabbiano Pinot Grigio is a light-bodied Italian white wine made from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes, bottled at 12% ABV in a standard 750ml format. Produced under the Castello di Gabbiano label, a Tuscan estate with roots stretching back to the 10th century and now operated under the Cavaliere d'Oro umbrella, the Pinot Grigio grapes are sourced from Veneto. Vinification follows the Friuli method of cold fermentation in stainless steel refrigerated tanks. The nose opens with white flowers and citrus peel, then ripe pear and honeydew melon. The palate entry is bright with green apple, moving into orange citrus and faint lemon zest, with lively acidity giving a fuller mouthfeel than many Pinot Grigios at this level. The finish is moderate in length, with lingering citrus and a distinctive almond note.
