VOGA Italia Pinot Grigio Takes Gold

by Nancy Bragg

Voga*, the Italian winery known for its stylish wines recently expanded and now includes a Pinot Grigio, Merlot and Sparkling Pinot Grigio. All are made from 100% varietal and reflect a luxurious lifestyle. You'll find this interesting label in the trendier clubs, lounges and restaurants.

I recently tried the VOGA Pino Grigio. The bottle is very contemporary; nothing like your typical wine bottle. Pinot Grigio is known for a subtle, slightly floral or citrus leaf scent. A very lemony-high acidic wave of heavy citrus greeted me on approach, almost like a rich Italian lemon ice with the peel sprinles on top. The first sip was a bit overpowering, like taking in a mouthful of lemon blossoms on a spring day. But the next sip leveled into fresh, crisp, and tangy sparkles, much like chewing a mouthful of Lemonhead candies, then swirling them around your palate with Rose Lime Juice.

For an interesting, big-citrus flavorful Grigio, especially if you're into the lemom-lime side of the fruity wine universe, this is one to take a taste on.

At under $20, VOGA Pino Grigio is worth the adventure, plus, you'll be wowed by the coolness of the unique cylindrical bottle...a conversation piece in itself.


Voga wines and the unique packaging of their offerings break with convention.
