Casa Vinicola Zonin’s Tenuta Ca’ Bolani Pinot Grigio 2011 wins Best of Class and a Gold medal— making it the number #1 wine in its class, in the Italy DOC category.  

Tenuta Ca’Bolani Pinot Grigio is “light straw with green hues.  The nose has a beautiful balance of peach, pear and minerals with notes of gardenia and blanched almonds.  The palate is dry, medium bodied, silky and reveals mouthwatering yellow peach and savory minerals that lead to a long and refreshing finish.   This wine is a perfect match for prosciutto di Parma or shelf fish.”

Two other wines from Casa Vinicola Zonin’s extensive portfolio received Bronze Medals as well, Zonin Prosecco and Feudo Principi di Butera Insolia 2011.   “We are delighted by this news and thrilled that Tenuta Ca’Bolani Pinot Grigio won Best of Class.” said Marketing Director of Casa Vinicola Zonin USA, Pietro Morelli.
