Babele Pinot Grigio 2023

Stretching along Italy’s Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountain peaks, deep valleys and ancient castles. The region is home to deliciously approachable, great-value wines – the plump, creamy, plum-filled, Montepulciano-based reds and crisp, citrusy Trebbiano whites. This wine is made by Davide Dias, who learnt from the great master Ricardo Cotarella. Farinelli uses grapes grown the traditional way – on the trellising system, ‘pergola abruzzese’. This ensures the grapes receive plenty of bright sunshine and ripen well. Taste for yourself with this lively white – brisk, lemony, with ripe apple and pear fruit. It makes a fine aperitif or enjoy with fish, chicken or creamy pasta.
