Veneto sits pretty and busy in Italy's cool north turning out delicious Prosecco, intense Amarone Della Valpolicella and a world favourite white wine, Pinot Grigio that drinks fruity and refreshing. The all round pleaser thrives on the vineyards kissed by cool breeze that rush in from the Adriatic Sea during the growing season. Further, the nippy winters and mild summers give the fruit enough time to develop intense flavours whilst retaining refreshing acidity. So Italy's top white wine grape which is in fact native to France where it's known as Pinot Gris, makes the most of Veneto's climate and the talent of local winemakers, turning out a cracking good ferment bursting with citrus and peach buoyed by crisp acidity. Stretch yourself out on the porch with this ideal day drinker – you can't go wrong with Pinot Grigio.
