Pinot Grigio with more soul and sunshine.
Castello Banfi gives Pinot Grigio a Tuscan spin. Fuller and richer in texture than its northern cousins, but still full of citrus and pear. This is the 2019 vintage, so it has some bottle age.
Tastes like: White peach, green apple and lime zest, with wildflowers and almond.
Feels like: Medium-bodied and dry, with balanced freshness and no oak.
Great with: Caprese salad, grilled prawns, pesto pasta, lemon roast chicken.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Steamed fish with ginger and soy, prawn dumplings, chicken rice.
The geeky bit: Pinot Grigio from hillside vineyards around Montalcino, fermented in stainless steel to keep it fresh.
Why we like it: Bright but never basic.
Serve: 10 to 12°C. Straight from the fridge is a touch too cold; give it a few minutes in the glass.
Alcohol: 12.5%
