From Friuli, a region in the Northeast corner of Italy, near Yugoslavia and Austia. Friuli has a number of DOCs - this wine is from the largest, Grave Del Friuli, so named for the gravelly terrain found there.We drank this bottle with dinner at the Ritz-Carlton on Maui, where we stayed for three nights during our recent vacation to Hawaii.
When in such a lovely setting, eating wonderful food, the wine probably doesn't need to be great, but I found this Pinot Grigio delicious, with good strong acidity and the mineral flavors I like in old world whites. It also had a rich, full mouth feel.
I think it was under $35 to boot, a welcome respite when dining at the Ritz.
