"White orchard fruit, Alpine herb and spring blossom aromas waft out of the glass along with a hint of banana. The rounded, medium-bodied palate offers honeydew melon and ripe pear before closing on a hint of hazelnut. ‡ Kerin O,Keefe"

"This has aromas of white peaches, apricots, apples and lemon verbena. Deliciously fruity with a medium body and a supple, creamy finish. Drink now."

"The 2022 Pinot Grigio from Abbazia di Novacella opens with delicate aromas of banana, Alpine herb and sun-warmed hay. The aromas follow through to the polished palate along with green melon and a hint of citrus. "

"Abbazia Di Novacella (The Abbey of the town of Novacella) has been in production since the 12th century in the region of Alto Adige in northern Italy. The Augustinian monks who steward the abbey make thoughtful, delicious wines at an incredible value like this Pinot Grigio. It has a full and round palate with joyful saline qualities that burst through the fruit. It is refreshing and deep at the same time."

"This textbook example of great Pinot Grigio opens with aromas of apple flesh, wildflowers and citrus oils. Textural and giving yet bright and energetic, the wine hops back and forth between giving peach and melon notes and then crushed rock, bitter almond and delicate flowers. Vibrant acidity keeps the wine moving forward with each sip‡it's a classic. ‡ Jeff Porter"
