Discover the elegance of Northern Italy with the Casa Defrà 4 Generazioni Pinot Grigio. Rooted in the historic Colli Berici region near Vicenza, where the Cielo family has been crafting wines since 1908, this label represents a legacy spanning four generations of dedication to the land. This Pinot Grigio is a testament to the unique terroir of the Veneto, where volcanic and limestone-rich soils provide a distinct mineral backbone to the grapes.
In the glass, the wine glows with a radiant straw-yellow hue, often showing subtle green reflections. On the nose, it offers a clean, inviting bouquet of crisp green apple, juicy pear, and delicate hints of spring flowers and citrus zest. Upon tasting, you will find it remarkably vibrant; it is a dry, medium-bodied white wine characterized by its signature freshness and a lively acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The finish is crisp and persistent, leaving a pleasant, slightly savory mineral note that encourages another sip.
This wine is the perfect companion for a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Its bright character makes it an ideal match for seafood—try it with a classic seafood risotto, grilled octopus, or pan-seared white fish. It also excels alongside light appetizers, vegetable-based dishes like zucchini frittata or fresh salads, and mild, fresh cheeses such as mozzarella or goat cheese. Whether you are hosting a summer dinner party or looking for a refreshing afternoon glass, the Casa Defrà 4 Generazioni Pinot Grigio brings the authentic charm and sunny vitality of the Italian Veneto directly to your table.
