Santa Cristina Releases First Pinot Grigio from delle Venezie IGT
25 Aug 2015 --- Santa Cristina is proud to launch its first-ever Pinot Grigio from the renowned delle Venezie appellation of Italy, bringing a commitment to quality and value to consumers worldwide. Founded in Tuscany in 1946, Santa Cristina is the reference point for affordable, every day, quality wines and is the maker of Italy's No. 1 selling red wine.
The region, which encompasses parts of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino, is known for producing excellent Pinot Grigio. Its soils are mineral-rich and volcanic, while the nearby Adriadic Sea as well as the Alps and Dolomites mountain ranges create the ideal climate for the varietal, producing crisp, fruity aromatic wines.
By carefully sourcing fruit from exceptional growers in delle Venezie, the new Pinot Grigio reinforces Santa Cristina's commitment to making wines that reflect Italian soul and terroir, yet offer modern vitality and flavor while being extremely versatile – perfect for every day enjoyment without sacrificing your budget.
The Santa Cristina 2014 Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT ($12) has delicate aromas of orange flowers and tropical fruit. It is refreshing and versatile with delicate fruit aromas and excellent minerality, pairing with a variety of poultry and seafoods as well as fresh salads and vegetable dishes.
