Bella Sera Pinot Grigio is a crisp, clean and refreshing example of excellence from the Tre Venezie region of Northeastern Italy. Pinot Grigio, known for mouth watering acidity, subtle fruit, and gentle aromas has flourished here for over a century. Protected from the cold and damp climate of Europe by the Alps, the generations-old vineyards of Tre Venezie are home to numerous climatic zones. The vineyards are located near the Adriatic Sea and Lake Garda to ensure the warm days and cool nights necessary to create an outstanding Pinot Grigio. These ideal growing conditions and minimal wine maker influence have created a remarkable Pinot Grigio that is true to the grape.

No doubt this is a simple wine, but it's zippy freshness and overall informality wins it points. You can't go wrong here: the wine is clean, tonic and drinks ever so easily, sip after refreshing sip. A small percentage of Chardonnay is added for extra creaminess.

Lime and green apples on the nose, with a floral note as well. Itrsquo;s medium-bodied, featuring a sharp, citrusy edge to the finish.

Shows decent fruit, with floral hints giving way to peach and nectarine flavors tinged with honey and tangerines. Light in weight and not very concentrated, but a pleasant little sipper that finishes on a grapefruity note.

Grown in the gravelly clay and limestone soil of the eastern Veneto region, this pale-straw-colored wine is crisp, dry, fresh-tasting and fruity. It is light in body and well-balanced.
