If you enjoy Pinot Grigio, but want a slightly bolder, riper style than Italy provides, for a change, it’s time you visited Argentina. There you’ll find intense, fruity, characterful wines like El Grigio. It’s from one of Argentina’s finest family estates – Zuccardi, a winery that has three times been awarded ‘Top Value Brand of the Year’. The estate’s founder Alberto Zuccardi started out as an engineer and only by accident went into wine. Today his son and grandson are in charge and they are among the five most influential figures in Argentina’s wine industry. Family and innovation are key to their success, and quality is of paramount importance. With vibrant pear and citrus flavours, this white is delicious solo or with salads or chicken.
