Odd Grape Week: Pino & Toi

[This was originally posted during the 1-5 blog visitor days of September.]

This wine comes from the Veneto region of Italy; located in the Northeast corner of the boot.  Pino & Toi is not a DOC/G wine. Hence, Maculan created P&T in a non-traditional manner.

Pino & Toi is a blend of, well, two Pinots and a Toi! - Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc) 25% - Pinot Grigio (Pino Gris) 15% - Tocai (Tocai Friulano) 60%

Pinotoi_1_1 The Skinny

Maculan Pino & Toi, '02 ($12)

  • Origin:  Veneto; Borough of Breganze to be exact
  • A light straw colored white wine
  • simple, fruity and, slightly spicy on the  nose
  • Viscous-y in the outh.  It could use a bit more acidity to feel better balanced.  Simple, light fruit flavors
  • A fun and simple wine

**.5 (2.5 stars out of 5) - Due to the strength of the Euro, $9-10 wines are now ringing in at $12-$15...arghhh
