An Italian Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay Blend

Save time and money. Check out my $10 wine report.

Mezzomondo Pinot Grigio Chardonnay IGT 2010 13 % alcohol about $10

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Clear pale straw with subtle green highlights; melon, light citrus and soft mineral aromas; dry, medium body; crisp citrus flavors with a mineral note lasting on a medium finish. Serving Suggestion: Drink now with seafood, poultry, and baked fish.“ And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine offered light acidity and was short. I started with Japanese rice crackers that rendered it round and sweet. The initial meal centered on a stovetop chicken leg cooked in mushrooms, onions, and spicy salsa. The wine responded with increased acidity and some melon. The accompanying organic whole-wheat pasta seemed to make its fruit more expressive. When paired with fresh cherries this liquid was refreshingly acidic.
