Creamy and naturally dense, this northern Italian white opens with a deep golden color and mature aromas of melon, stone fruit and honey. There’s a spicy touch of crushed white pepper on the close.

Pinot Grigio Campodipietra is a zesty, fresh wine to pair with appetizers or fried finger foods. It offers the characteristic easiness and informality of the grape variety with a soft, creamy mouthfeel that is typical of the Piave wine region in northern Italy.

Although the label reads “Millesimato,” it does not carry a vintage date. The bouquet is redolent of spicy clove and white pepper and there’s plenty of citrus and peach at the back. The finish is smooth and slightly sweet.

Closed with a white string tied over the cork (spago in Italian), this lightly sparkling, or frizzante, Prosecco offers mild sweetness with white flowers, stone fruit and citrus. It’s refreshing and easy to drink.
