Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio, 2009

One of my recent tastings was on Banfi San Angelo 2009 Pinot Grigio from Castello Banfi's Estate vineyards, in the southern hills of Montalcino. Italy. This is 100% Pinot Grigio.  It had a light citrus flavor, with a hint of spice, and was crisp.  It finished with grapefruit pith. Mouth feel was a bit thin.   Customers enjoyed it.  

Winemaker's Notes:  "Colour: light straw yellow. 

Bouquet: very fresh and fruity with pear, banana, peach, anise and honey notes. 

Taste: rich, full, round and very persistent.  

This 100% Pinot Grigio belongs to Castello Banfi estate-bottled single-varietals range.Thanks to the Montalcino microclimate our Tuscan Pinot Grigio adds to the typical aromas of this variety an unusual body, flavour and balance.

Food Pairings:  Excellent as aperitif. It accompanies well light dishes and fish in general."
