The Italian region of Abruzzo lies south-east of Tuscany and Umbria, and one of the white grape varieties here is Trebbiano. This wine has fresh acidity with fruity notes of lemon, green apples, peach and herbs.
This wine is good with seafood and fish dishes, and I give it 72 points. It costs 79 SEK and har nr 6580 at Systembolaget. I find it a balanced wine with fruity notes, and it is worth its price!
From Veneto in Italy I have tried a white organic Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris) wine called P. Lex, an IGT wine which expresses many typical Pinot Grigio characteristics.
On the nose you find very fresh fruity notes of stone fruit like peach and nectarine.
On the palate it has the style typical of north Italy, with early harvested grapes with lots of fruitiness, giving a light and fairly neutral character with medium acidity. I do taste peach, ripe pears, nectarine, and some spicy notes.
It is a white wine very easy to combine with dishes like chicken and fish, but it is also pleasant to drink on its own. I give it 81 points.
In Sweden you can find the P. Lex Pinot Grigio at Systembolaget, normal assortment, at the price 89 SEK (nr 74879).
I wish you a great Saturday night! 🙂
