ITALY ” WHITE WINE ALTO ADIGETRENTINO CA’ MONTINI TERRE DI VALFREDDA PINOT GRIGIO 2024 DOC Trentino

PUGLIA BOCCANTINO PRIMITIVO/ SUSUMANIELLO 2023 IGT Salento, sustainable

This single-vineyard Pinot Grigio is sourced from the Terre di Valfredda (“cold valley”) site, whose name highlights the cool-climate conditions that prevail in the area. These conditions encourage freshness, balance, and fine fruit expression. The citrus, pear, apricot and mineral notes in this wine are more boldly defined than many Pinot Grigio can accomplish. Elegant and authentic. Light & Crisp 46566 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2

This wine is a blend of Primitivo with the spicy Susumaniello grape found only in Puglia. There’s lots to like here, starting with the lifted floral aromatics. Look for a nice mix of purple, red and black fruit (notably cassis) alongside some exotic spice and oak spice. Drink through 2028. Full-bodied & Smooth 46629 (D) 750 ml $15.95 2
