Tavernello Pinot Grigio delle Venezie

It feels good to be number one baby! And Tavernello is Italy’s number one wine brand. Here’s a few more numbers to have a mull over – 27 co-operative wineries, 12000 wine growers, over 32000 hectares of vineyards (that’s 85% of the total area of NZ’s wine production!) and a whopping 9% of Italy’s total wine production!

Those are the eye watering numbers the Caviro wine group can boast. They began in 1966 in the heart of Emilia-Romagna and today Tavernello is their flagship brand, with over 7 million Italian households regularly whipping the tops off amazing value Italian red and white wines.

This is the Tavernello Pinot Grigio using fruit from several sub regions across Veneto in north east Italy. If you know and love the way Italian’s do Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio) then this is a great, affordable option!

It’s a white that’s light on its feet with clean, fresh, fruity flavours with a crisp, dry and super refreshing finish. Make sure you chill it down and pair with salads, seafood and white meats.
