87 points, Best buy PINOT GRIGIO 2000 Doc Piave
This wine's faint rose hue shows the rarely seen but true pink color of the Pinot Grigio grape. A fragrant peach-and-herb nose, crisp but not hard texture and decent weight mark this solid example. Fruity but dry on the palate, a chalky note adds interest, and the wine closes with decent length. (W.E.) - WE Buying Guide

Real varietal character shows in this wine's full, dry plum and berry fruit. There are some slight green notes, but they're more tobacco-like than bell-peppery. With its moderate tannins and acidity, medium weight and earthy elements, this could be mistaken for a Right Bank Bordeaux. (W.E.) - WE Buying Guide

Conclusive Comment: A slight decrease in consistency than offset by a significant increase of integrity: it grows then this glass. Like Cabernet Franc, which is wild blackberry aromas. Like the raspberry that, after swallowing, gives the Tocai Rosso. The whites must gain softness and smoothness, so the reds. Force, and congratulations.
