What's up? We have a new video from Alto Adige.
Alto Adige is, like, this awesome region up in the northeast of Italy.
It's one of the Dolomites. They have all sorts of elevation.
It's a very exciting region that people don't know as well,
but I am a fan, so this probably stands out.
Swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl, it's really nice to be going to this thing.
Very light, kind of lemony.
I'm getting some of what I would call the Pinot Grigio hallmarks.
It just smells very fresh.
A hallmark of the Alto Adige region, where they're up in the mountains.
This is totally
pleasant.
It's not super complicated, but it's...
Dry, it's got like a little bit of a tannic strength to it.
It's got a really nice texture to it.
Like it's very light in body
and it's sort of simple, a little seashell-y.
It's got almost kind of a texture to it.
It's the finish when you swallow, you get a little salinity.
You know that I would like taste this and be like,
oh my god, it tastes like Pinot Grigio,
but I would say sometimes you taste Pinot Grigio
and you don't want to taste Pinot Grigio.
Oh, we're off to a really good start.
This is one of the pricier wines for Aldi.
This goes for $12.99 and I would say worth it.
Get that Grigio.
