When it comes to Italian white wines, Pinot Grigio is a popular choice. For good reason. Wine crafted with this varietal can typically be lighter in style with crisp citrus notes balanced with just the right amount of acidity. And if you’re looking for a standout bottle, the Montalto Pinot Grigio Sicily IGT is definitely one to consider.
This DOC white wine was crafted in Sicily, an area known for its balmy Mediterranean climate which is perfectly suited to grape-growing. The varietal used was the Pinot Grigio, which is found in many Italian white wines in this region. This IGP designation (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) indicates that the grapes were sourced within specific boundaries, allowing for an enhanced level of quality control.
In terms of taste, this wine offers a juxtaposition of delicately citric aromas with notes of plums, almonds, peach, and ripe yellow apples. All this combines for a surprisingly robust yet delicate drinking experience. Its delicate appearance in the glass has a slight golden hue, and the body has bright, vibrant acidity which, when matched with the aromas and structure, renders a complex yet elegantly balanced Italian white wine.
As far as pairings go, this Montalto Pinot Grigio Sicily IGT pairs amazingly with seafood-centric dishes such as a plate of grilled seafood or a garlic-infused shrimp linguine. It’s also excellent served with lighter meat dishes and pasta recipes that contain butter and white sauce.
If you’re in the mood for something different, spice it up by pairing it with a Thai-style curry or a dish that is a bit heavy on the chilli. This wine’s abilty to refresh the mouth with its crisp acidity helps to balance the heat from spicy dishes, making this truly is a flexible and enjoyable Italian white wine.
