The 2019 Pinot Grigio Jesera has a pretty pink color with copper hues strewn throughout. It’s wonderfully fresh and lifted, showing white strawberry, apple, a dusting of confectioners’ sugar and hints of candied ginger. Silky textures flesh out across the senses, weightier than expected yet perfectly balanced by brisk acids, taking on a more savory persona, as notes of peach and melon give way to zesty exotic spices. There’s an almost-Asian peppery note here coupled with the wine’s inner florals that excites the senses. The Jesera really makes the case for skin-contact Pinot Grigio and will appeal to a broad range of palates. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)

Really stunning copper-finish color. So you know this is going to be a different take on PG. That's the way to my heart, btw. Diving in I get sharp mineral tones, pushing a creamy profile through, with nice pear and a tangy zest. Great finish.

Luminous straw color. Intense, perfumed nose of apple, pear and lemon verbena, with a hint of tropical fruit emerging from the background. Then rich and suave with very good juicy cut to the pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. Much richer and denser than the average Italian Pinot Grigio. Finishes long and pure. Well done.

Very Grigio. Almost pink-copper in color, and so flavorful. One of the best expressions of the grape, especially for the price. Will make you re-think the grape.

All three of these wines showed beautifully yesterday! Venica's Pinot Grigio is a best of breed, as is La Distesa's Terra Silvate. Honored that Bellus 'Scopello' showed so well, too.
