Mezzacorona Dolomiti Pinot Grigio, 2005

All of the grapes for this widely available wine come from Mezzacorona's vineyards in the foothills of the Dolomiti mountains in the far northeastern corner of Italy. This is a cool climate, ideal for producing crisp, well structured white wines.

A year ago, this 2005 Pinot Grigio was fresh and lively, teasing the tongue with subtle flavors. Today, it is still fresh but with fuller, more rounded flavors. Still a lovely wine. It's a light straw color. Clean, well delineated aromas and flavors of citrus, green apples, minerals and a hint of green herbs. It's a versatile wine--good with vegetable-oriented meals, soups, seafood pasta, pork or sipping on its own.

This wine is frequently discounted to $6.99 at my local grocery, D&W FreshMarkets, and when it is I usually stock up because I know there will be many occasions to serve it.
