Bertani, 2010 Due Uve Bianco Pinot Grigio-Sauvignon IGT.

The concept of the wines known as Due Uve (“Two Grapes”), of which Due Uve White was the first to be produced by Bertani, is the result of a judicious and harmonious combination of two grape varieties, chosen and blended in order to bring out the best in each other. Due Uve White combines the body and the elegance of Pinot Grigio with the aromatic notes typical of Sauvignon Blanc. A truly original creation with great character and personality, a fusion of two of the world’s most famous grape varieties, it makes an excellent aperitif, and goes very well with salads, delicate pasta dishes and white meat.
