Wine: San Giorgio Pinot Grigio Garganega IGT Venezie 2011

That sum is the difference in price between an interesting pair of bottles among a few dozen featured at a tasting hosted by Searsons Wine Merchants earlier this week.

Both Italian whites, made by the same winery San Giorgio, in the same year, in (yes, you guessed it) the same region. Both feature the pinot grigio grape, the main difference being that one of them is a blend with garganega. Due to appellation rules, while the straight pinot grigio bears the rank of denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) the blend is the ‘lower’ indicazione geografica tipica (IGT).
