Italy produces a number of really good white wines these days, but by far the best known is Pinot Grigio. To my taste, the best Italian region for fresh, flavorful Pinot Grigio is the Alto Adige (or South Tyrol), just south of the border with Austria in north-eastern Italy. We buy this Piccolo Goccio Pinot Grigio from an excellent winery there who we’ve known for years.
It’s an excellent everyday white wine, both flavorful and fresh, good by itself or with all kinds of food. In the glass it shows distinct pale yellow color, with aromas and flavors of ripe pear and apple, and hints of baking spices. The grapes are grown in the hills along the Adige River; it’s fermented and rested in stainless steel tanks for freshness, and bottled about six months after harvest.

Piccolo Goccio is a range of authentic Italian wines, the same kind of wines you would be drinking sitting in a cafè in Italy. (‘Piccolo Goccio’ means little sip, in Italian.) The wines are made from local grape varieties grown in different parts of Italy by some of our our favorite producers who take great care in their grape-growing and winemaking. Each wine has been chosen as an excellent selection for food pairing and daily drinking.
