Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This is a really great value wine, Pinot Grigio blended with Grillo which seems to give this wine a little softer, nuttier note. Aromas of lemon, pear, and hazelnut. Light to medium bodied, smooth and crisp, with fresh citrus notes and that hint of creamy hazlenut on the finish. Enjoy with classic roasted chicken, or a pine nut pesto pasta.
Trent Mayers rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Here’s an extreme good value from Sicily; Grillo is an indigenous Sicilian grape blended here with Pinot Grigio. Expect simple fruit flavours of lemon and peach tinged with roasted hazelnut aromas. It has enough body and fruit to stand up to grilled chicken or shrimp or even pasta with tomato sauce if you don’t feel like a red.
3+ stars out of 5

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
