Online Review: Ecco Domani is a pale straw in hue and has delicate floral aromas with a hint of citrus. On the palate, the wine offers tropical fruit flavors and a crisp, refreshing finish. (ryanswine.com/product/ecco-domani-pinot-grigio/)
Aging: The grapes for this wine were gently crushed and pressed, and the juice was allowed to cold settle prior to fermentation in upright stainless steel tanks for three weeks at an average temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The wine was aged sur lie for two months and then on light lees until bottling to preserve a clean and full mouthfeel.
Wine Folly: (Wine Folly, pg. 149) The peach taste and lemon zest were very prominent; however, I did not experience any almond flavor whatsoever. There may have been a slight hint of cantaloupe, but the primary fruits that I tasted were peach and pineapple (maybe even a touch of apple). Served chilled, this Pinot Grigio was very light and crisp, albeit without a pronounced odor.
My Review: This Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio did not give off a significant aroma, so it was not a great surprise that I failed to detect a strong taste either. More than anything, this wine delivered small flavors of peach, lemon, and pineapple with a crisp finish. I would not say that I did or did not enjoy this beverage, as it simply did not have much flavor.
I did not try this Pinot Grigio with any food, although I can see it pairing well with lighter meats such as fish.
