Summer is here, and with it, the desire to refresh oneself with Italian white wines that capture all the freshness of the season. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or a simple epicurean in search of new discoveries, let yourself be seduced by exceptional vintages that will enhance your summer meals. Through this guide, we invite you to discover white wines with distinct aromas, created with passion and expertise.
The Pinot Grigio is undoubtedly one of the most popular Italian white wines in the world. Originating from the Veneto region, this grape variety produces light and fruity wines, with a particularly refreshing texture. Its aromas of citrus, green apple, and lime offer a delicate and pleasant palate. This wine is perfect for pairing with light meals such as salads, seafood, or simple pasta dishes, where it will add a touch of elegance without overshadowing the dish.
Tasting Tip: For an optimal experience, serve your Pinot Grigio well chilled, between 8 and 10°C. It is ideal for an aperitif on the terrace, but also pairs well with a fresh tomato salad or delicately seasoned fish ceviche.
The Vermentino, primarily grown in Sardinia and Liguria, is a white wine that stands out for its liveliness and minerality. Its citrus aromas (particularly lemon and grapefruit) blend with floral and slightly spicy notes, creating a sensation of pure freshness. This dry and aromatic wine is an excellent choice for an aperitif or to accompany grilled fish dishes or seafood.
Tasting Tip: The Vermentino pairs perfectly with fish tartares or a seafood risotto. Do not serve it too cold; a temperature around 10-12°C will better reveal its delicate aromas.
Originating from Campania, the Greco di Tufo is a more complex and structured wine. This white wine is distinguished by its aromas of white-fleshed fruits, pear, and peach , as well as by delicate floral touches. Its ample structure and slightly mineral character make it an excellent choice to accompany richer dishes, such as white meats or aged cheeses.
Tasting Advice: Serve your Greco di Tufo at a temperature of 12-14°C so that its fruit aromas and mineral notes can fully reveal themselves. It is perfect with roast chickens or aged goat cheeses.
