 "The 2019 Pinot Grigio Zuc di Volpe impresses with a seductive display of ripe pear and apricot, offset by sweet white flowers and hints of buttercream.

This then becomes quite savory, smoky even, while leaving the palate completely refreshed. It’s not often that you find a Pinot Grigio with so much character." Vinous

It’s silky and textural, balancing tropical citrus against ripe orchard fruits, all motivated by stimulating acidity. Hints of pineapple and cheek-puckering lime linger as the mouth waters for another sip. This is a fully satisfying Sauvignon, packed full of tension and with energy to burn." Vinous
