Lo Triolet, Pinot Gris D.O.C.
(PEE-noh GREE)

 

Tasting Notes: Lo Triolet’s Pinot Gris instantly reveals the impeccable quality winemaker, Marco Martin, aims to achieve. His style embraces a palpable mouth feel–a pleasant oil and glycerine, both on the nose and palate of all his wines. This Pinot Gris is an enigma, with extreme taut minerality on the nose, while the palate dances with exotic nuances, including honeysuckle, papaya, lemon verbena, Meyer lemon oil, gunpowder, and gravel dust.
