POGGIOBELLO PINOT GRIGIO
Poggiobello Pinot Grigio is as good as Pinot Grigio gets: there is a variety of elegant fruit and floral notes on the nose. It is well-structured and full-bodied on the palate with a fruity finish. Because of its medium-to-full bodied style and vibrant acidity it will pair well with rich seafood dishes and
