Sensi Collezione Italy Pinot Grigio 2015
- Fresh, juicy
- Italy
Here comes the Tuscan sun, like a Beatles song meets Italian vines. Crafted by Sensi, the venerable vino artisans who have been creating iconic wines for well over a century, this pinot grigio is pure class. In fact, we think it’s one of our greatest imports to date, here at the ‘Fo. Brimming with notes of cut pear and fresh green apple on the nose, followed by a bright palate with delightfully fresh acidity, this white will take you to Tuscany and back again with just one sip. Saluti, mofos!

Producer
Sensi
Seriously, who hasn’t heard of Sensi wines? Celebrated as the pride and joy of Tuscany, Sensi is recognised as one of the largest producers in the region and has cemented itself as one of the best, with a rich, successful and long 120-year old presence in the Tuscan Hills. An Italian stallion of a producer, its success and growth continues to ascent with each passing year, with an uncompromising put-into-practice philosophy of elegance, consistency and excellence when it comes to wine production.
Region
Italy
Italian wine regions are by far some of the most difficult to learn about. With over 350 official wine varieties, it can be very easy to get lost. Never fear though, you'll see some of your old friends such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese as well as some new friends such as Chianti, Arneis, Fiano, Nebbiolo and Vermentino. Italian wines are a match made in heaven for food, but can easily be enjoyed on their own. Good food and good wine - THAT is the Italian way.
The rules are there ain’t no rules, but here are some foods we think will work pretty well with this wine...
