As we dive deeper into our lovely transitional spring to summer months, we have the perfect pairings for those longer warmer nights. Enjoy these Italian selections with your loved ones, and feel the warmth of summer approach.
Fasoli Gino “Pigio”: Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie (2022)
A simple crisp white. Perfect for those warmer afternoons that bleed into nights. This pinot grigio, from the Delle Venezie region in Italy, comes from a cool, breezy climate that varies in its day-night temperatures to maintain its fresh acidity. These changes in temperature creates an aromatic intensity that is crisp to the finish. Enjoy the minerality of this citrusy, appley, grassy white wine by itself to start your afternoon off right, or pair it with your favorite summer dishes. Similarly in taste, this pinot grigio goes well with any tangy dish using summer tomatoes, or compliments creamy buttery dishes just as well. Wash down a fresh catch of fish or shellfish with this perfect “Pigio”, and you have the perfect evening ahead!
Fasoli Gino “La Corte del Pozzo”: Bardolino (2020)
From the same producer as its pinot grigio sister, this Bardolino is produced from the traditional vineyards in the heart of the Veneto region in northeastern Italy, sitting right alongside the shores of Lake Garda. An easy-drinker, that smells as good as it tastes, with its bright fresh aromas similar to fresh fruits like strawberry, raspberry, cherry. It's perfectly balanced, and it's meant to be drunk young, so pop open this Bardolino and enjoy as soon as you can! Enjoy with a spicy pizza, a light dish after a day in the sunshine, or simply enjoy all by itself. The medium-body juiciness of this Bardolino will truly shine just slightly chilled, which is the perfect addition to the warmer days and nights with friends and family.
