If you’re talking the ultimate guest-greeting, light-sipping wine, there's really nothing more refreshing than Pinot Grigio. To secure the best for all of you, we headed to the grape's spiritual home—the cool, mountain-ringed vineyards of Venezie, in northern Italy—and snapped up the ultra-crisp, peachy keen Alessandro Gallici Pinot Grigio.

As its name implies, the bottling was produced by none other than wine maestro Alessandro Gallici, who has a passion for crafting pure, invigorating Pinot Grigio.

As you’ll taste, he manages to capture the every perfumed, fruit-filled nuance. Light and bright, with a tingly minerality we’d almost liken to fine Chablis, the wine makes an elegant dinner party aperitivo. Or, pair it with fresh fish and vegetarian dishes—all the better if they offer an Italian flair. Try lemon-basil calamari or white pizza with arugula and Gorgonzola.

This perennial favorite always sells quickly. Hurry for your share.
