Alana L rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

My ‘coup de coeur’ at today’s DOC delle Venezie Pinot Grigio guided tasting as part of the ‘A Tasting of Wines from Italy’ organized by the Italian Trade Commission at Montreal’s gorgeous Marché Bonsecours? Piera Martellozzo’s Piera Terra Pura Terra 2018. Intense straw color with light green shades typical to Pinot Grigio, a bouquet of fruit and flowers and crisp yet soft saline minerality. A precursor in organic growing, Piera describes this wine in a marvellously poetic way ‘Pura Terra is an act of love for a nature which wine brings us close to.’ Although I tasted this as part of an 8 wine tasting, it would pair remarkably with seafood, oysters, lightly grilled fish, or simply as a late afternoon terrace wine!

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.
