Ultimate Beverage Challenge 88 points (May 2012) Aromatic notes of green apples, pears and lanolin, with a touch of white flowers, lead this northern Italian Pinto Grigio. On the palate it?s light, delicate even, with moderate acidity and a quick zippiness across the palate. Light and refreshing.

Wine maker notes

Lumina is produced from carefully selected grapes coming from the Northeast Italy's finest vineyards. It is a wine that shows complexity and elegance. It merges the qualities of a very popular grape variety with the virtues of a historical vine-growing area, perfect for the production of fine quality white wines. Lumina is a Pinot Grigio with a well recognizable personality. Its medium-bodied structure and full aromas makes it stand out in the broad Pinot Grigio category. This wine, which was first introduced in 2002, has in fact been so well reviewed by consumers world-wide that its production has grown well beyond 1,000,000 bottles per year in only 4 years.
