Although the 2006 Pinot Grigio is more expressive and open in its aromatics than the Tocai, there is less concentration and intensity in its fruit. Drink this simple, accessible Pinot Grigio over the next year or so. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2008. Importer: Moet Hennessy USA, New York, NY; tel. (212) 251-8200

Livio Felluga produces one of Italy’s best Pinot Grigios and this terrific vintage is no exception. The wine has a slight copper hue to its color and delivers a full, creamy style with an emphasis on soft peach and honey.——M.L.(7/1/2008)—— 89
