I don’t usually buy Pinot Grigio, as most of it is mass-produced, of average quality and has a mediocre taste. However, according to Bibendum, it’s the most popular wine on trade, in hospitality venues. So, when I was recently tasked with selecting some wines for a gathering, I felt compelled to include a Pinot Grigio since it is so well known.
Choosing the right Pinot Grigio was a bit of a challenge, but I opted to shop at Majestic this time and selected the Villa Vito Pinot Grigio 2023. Majestic’s buyers tasted more than fifty Pinot Grigio before settling on this one as the very best quality for the money. Although it has a low 3.0 score on Vivino, don’t let that put you off.
The 2023 vintage, 12% ABV, has a great pear and apple aroma that transitions smoothly into the taste. What sets it apart is its more robust middle taste and mouthfeel, areas where other Pinot Grigio typically fall short. Priced at £6.99 from Majestic when you buy six or more mixed bottles, it’s a great choice for those looking for a quality Pinot Grigio.
