Torre di Monte Pinot Grigio


Torre di Monte
2006
Umbria
Italy

Will drink again.

I had a glass of this at a restaurant recently and it was very good. It had a very distinctive taste for a Pinot Grigio. I want to say it tasted like cedar to me (though I've never tasted cedar). Very interesting. I had it with Ravioli and scallops and it accompanied both very well. The flavors of the food were enhanced following a sip of the wine.

I don't know if it's readily available. I couldn't find anyone selling it but I didn't look that hard. What I did find puts it at $10 / bottle. Great for the price.

8.0 out of 10
$10 / 750 ml. bottle
