Signore Giuseppe is today a low-cost Italian wine brand that in this case offering a 100% Pinot Grigio without vintage and under the label Delle Venezie. Although this brand also bottles under DOC Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Lambrusco dell'Emilia, Prosecco, Moscato or Asti.

On the nose, floral notes appear in medium intensity accompanied by white peach hints. In the background the orange blossom is delicately displayed. In the mouth, entry of slight roundness. A good acidity development, proof of its pre-Alpine origin. Mouth-aromas centered on the meadow, alpine flower, young citrus or more than young white stone fruit notes, on a clementine background. Short finish, which does not linger but with pleasant echoes of citrus fruit and fresh grass overshadowing its subtle 12% vol.
