There’s a fragrant element to the nose here that recalls white flowers, jasmine and orange blossom. This wine evidently gives its best performance on the nose because the mouthfeel is watery and thin (as many Pinot Grigios can be).

Here’s a light, easy Chardonnay from Friuli in Northern Italy that offers measured aromatic intensity and notes of stone fruit, flowers and white mineral. The wine would wash down an easy salad thanks to its lean consistency and fresh finish.
