La Famiglia Winery 2004 Pinot Grigio

** Compares to Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio. ** La Famiglia Pinot Grigio is a crisp, dry white wine with fresh floral fruit and spice aromas. This variety is considered a natural mutation of the noble Pinot Noir, with berries often tinged a cinnamon brown color, leading to it name Pinot Grigio. What a great year for Pinot Grigio! Early spring weather encouraged full canopy development and early bloom. The unusually long 2004 growing season retained outstanding acidity in our Pinot Grigio grapes, even as warm days developed ripe, lush flavors. While yield was down, significantly in some of the Pinot Grigio vineyards, the resultant concentration of flavors is fantastic!
