Santa Margherita Pinot
Grigio
 
This month, Vinny Vanucchi’s ‘Little Italy’ is featuring an
award-winning wine from Santa Margherita,
the first company to vinify the pinkish Pinot
Grigio grapes as a white wine.
The staff at Vinny Vanucchi's recommends the pairing of Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with Pollo Compomare.
POLLO COMPOMARE
A boneless chicken breast sautéed with broccoli, mushrooms and tomatoes in a rich cream sauce with wine, lemon, garlic and hot sauce, served over pasta.
SANTA MARGHERITA PINOT GRIGIO
This dry white wine is pale straw-yellow in color. The clean, intense aroma and dry flavor with pleasant golden apple aftertaste make Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio a wine of great character and versatility.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is the No. 1
imported wine sold in the nation's leading
restaurants for the past 12 years. In 1961, a
Santa Margherita oenologist utilized the
white vinification technique, used for the
product of French Champagne, and applied it to pinot
grigio grapes. The result is this innovative white
wine.
