Nose: It boasts a youthful aromatic profile of flowers and fruit, ranging from lily of the valley and broom flowers to melon and white peach.
Palate: Ventessa is made without chemical alteration. Our sunny days favor optimal aromas, cold nights help preserve acidity, and the Ventessa wind accelerates the ripening of grapes without increasing the sugar level, yielding crisp flavors and naturally lower
Pairings: As an aperitif, served with delicate finger foods, shellfish, medium mature cheeses, baked & fried fish dishes.A lower alcohol version here, just 9%, this is also lower in calories (or kilojoules) – 90 calories per five ounces, but you’ll have to do your own calculations. From the Trentino region in Italy, with its alpine vineyards, it is a deep lemon/gold, with spices, florals, stonefruit and citrus on the nose. A wine of medium length, which does fade gently, and a soft texture, this is a drink now style that picks up points for the low calories and alcohol.
90 pts - Lisa Cardelli (Wine Pilot)Only 90 calories for a 50 oz serving. A timely, fashionable drink before we rock the bikini on the Australian Riviera, or the Gold Coast, hey?! Aside from the shits and giggles, here’s a Grigio with a decent nose, built on pineapple and quince, yellow apples and Packham pears, hawthorn and ginger, with a squeeze of yuzu for good measure. On the palate, it’s flavoursome, reminding me more of an Alsatian Pinot Gris than anything else. The length may be conservative, but it’s a fruit bomb that tickles every single taste bud.
