Cora Pinot Grigio 2020

Region: Colline Pescaresi, Abruzzo, Italy
Grape(s): Pinot Grigio
Drinks Best: Now

Few grapes get as little respect as Pinot Grigio, largely due to the oceans of indifferent lemon-tinged water that is stacked high at big box stores masquerading as wine. Yet with better vineyard site selection and more care in the winery, Pinot Grigio can have character while maintaining the delicate nature that makes it so appealing. For the Cora, the Pinot Grigio grapes are gently pressed then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to create a delicate and engaging uncomplicated white wine. Fresh and easy-going flavors of lemon and apple are built on a delicately acidic framework in a crowd-friendly rendition of this classic cocktail wine.
