Just in time for summer drinking, a crisp, refreshing white from one of the oldest wine houses in the Veneto. Masi’s Masianco Pinot Grigio e Verduzzo delle Venezie blends 75 percent Pinot Grigio with 25 percent Verduzzo. Picked very ripe and dried on racks for a few weeks before fermenting, the native Verduzzo gives the wine depth and character. It’s not often you find a summer quaffing wine, especially at this price, that you want to keep drinking. It’s round and fruity, with a bit of minerality but finishes dry.
Just the wine for spaghetti alle vongole, steamed mussels, seafood pasta and risotto — and paella.
