PINOT GRIGIO, 2008 RIFF (Italy)
The grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in North-eastern Italy at the foot of the Alps. The color is medium straw and you will find hints of peaches in the bouquet. The wine is medium bodied with a lovely elegance that is followed by a full finish. This Pinot Grigio is fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by maturation on its lees to enhance fruit flavors.

Vitiano Rosso comes from the Umbria area of Italy.
