VENEZIE TEDESCHI PINOT GRIGIO DELLE VENEZIE € DOC

RÉVA NEBBIOLO D’ALBA DOC Langhe

Here’s a lovely varietal Nebbiolo from its home in Langhe. The wine is crafted in stainless steel and then rested for four months in Austrian oak. It opens with gorgeous aromas of cherry, rose hip and subtle graphite. The palate is tightly woven, with good brightness and intensity. Drink

For 400 years, the Tedeschi family has been crafting wines based on the Valpolicella blend. A recent foray into other signature grapes of the Venezie region has proven quite fruitful, as evidenced by this brisk, easy-drinking Pinot Grigio oœering aromas of lemon zest, cantaloupe, and crushed stone.
