Winemaker Notes
Light straw color with just a hint of salmon. Aromas of both stone fruits and melon. Showing Pinot Grigio's ability to be light on its feet but complex. Melon and stone fruits with minerals and medium body.
Pinot Grigio has such a great range. Wonderful on its own as an aperitivo, with light grilled fish like sashimi, pesce crudo or ceviche.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Scarpetta Pinot Grigio is aromatic, delicious, and crisp. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of ripe apple and dried earthy notes. Enjoy it with sautéed scallops in brown butter. (Tasted: June 28, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
Scarpetta is a Friulian inspired brand created by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and former French Laundry Chef Lachlan Patterson. Bobby and Lachlan teamed up to open Frasca, an authentic Friulian restaurant in Boulder, Colorado. They travel to Friuli several times a year looking to import local regional foods and recipes. Their passion for all things Friuli inspired the creation of their own brand, Scarpetta, in
2007. It began with 50 cases of old vine Friulano produced to be sold at Frasca. The demand for the wine was strong, and customers began to request new flavors. So they slowly expanded the line to include Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and a sparkling rosé called Timido. Bobby’s love of Barbera from Monferrato eventually expanded the project to include
this varietal as well. The ultimate goal of the brand is to make affordable everyday wines that taste special.
