Pinot Grigio, Pullus - 2022

Item # 23362 750mL

The nose offers ripe pear, green melon and floral notes, while the discreet oak and the creamy quality given by lees aging round out the experience. This is a delicious Pinot Grigio that shows a rosé colored in the glass due to 72 hours of skin contact maceration.
