Vinaria din Vale ‘Crama Regala’ Pinot Grigio 2022, Moldova

Description

Though Italian Pinot Grigio might be the classic pour, Vinaria din Vale shows that lesser-known winemaking country Moldova can also do the grape in style. Lime, lemon, pear and nectarine notes are joined by a refreshing rush of acidity. Equally tasty when cracked open on its own or served with food. Vinaria din Vale’s vineyards are in southern Moldova, where a temperate-continental climate is influenced by the Black Sea. Grapes ripen with nuance and complexity, thanks to the mixture of temperature and clay-sand soils with marine sediments. The winery is set next to Lake Beleu, one of the country’s largest natural lakes.
