Wine of the Day: Duca Del Frassino Pinot Grigio

Behind the Burner: Wine of the Day: Duca Del Frassino Pinot Grigio

When you think of Pinot Grigio on a hot summer day, you might imagine the condensation forming on the outside of a chilled bottle as you pour yourself a glass. Not so with our Wine of the Day, Duca Del Frassino Pinto Grigio, which stands as Italy's first wine...in a box.

Produced by Cantina di Soave, one of the more prestigious wineries in the Veneto region, Duca Del Frassino is not your average college kids' fridge wine. Their Pinot Grigio boasts a crisp, well balanced fruit flavor with hints of white flower on the nose. Tip: This wine pairs well with fish or chicken, especially charred on the grill. At $19.99, it is an unbeatable price for your backyard bash, so pick some up and start sipping! And don't forget to try their Cabernet Corvina...it's quite delicious, too.
