Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is Gabbiano's example of simple, fresh, food-friendly Pinot Grigio. It comes from the Venezie area of northeast Italy and pretty much embodies the classic style that is popular now.
The bottle is tinted slightly blue, as many whites are nowadays, to make it look greener - fresher.
It does have some greeness, when you get it out of the bottle. A sunny yellow colour. Quite pale.
It has pleasant citrus and pear aromatics. Very crisp. Some green pea, vanilla, and lemon zest on the nose too.
The flavours are very cheerful. It is dry, zesty, and with an acidic snap on the finish keeping your palate clean.
Clean, fresh, uncomplicated, and easy-drinking. What more could you possibly ask for? These would be great with seabass and chili sauce, or maybe some fresh shrimp.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
