Pinot Grigio Varietal/Style: Pinot Grigio Origin: DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli Vintage: 1998 Winemaker: Livio Felluga/Clicquot, Inc. Rating: 13/20 Retail Price: $20.49

Tasting Notes: A slightly pink hue and crisp, clean style make this our choice for a summer brunch wine. The nose of tropical fruits, rose petals and tulips is almost enticing enough to dab behind the ears. Full and fresh in the mouth with great acidity, it finishes with lingering flavors of mango, apple and bananas. (Date tasted: 6/10/00)

Profile: Located in Italy's temperate northeast, this family-owned winery is recognized as producing some of the Friuli area's finest white wines. Although well into his 80s, founder Livio is surprisingly active in the winery, passing his passions for quality and innovative winemaking to future Felluga generations.
