This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Albino Armani. Complimentary wine was provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links. However, all opinions expressed here are my own. Last month, a few of us took part in a webinar about Albino Armani* wines; I had received a nice trio of wines and was excited dive right in to my guided exploration.  Graziel mille  to Susannah of  Avvinare  for coordinating!  I am a Pinot-girl all the way. Pinot Noirs are some of my favorite reds all year long but, during the summer months, I adore sipping chilled glasses of Pinot Grigio.   I am excited to hold on to Summer for a little bit longer with these wines and some fresh seafood pairings.  Pinot Grigio thrives in the 'Triveneto' - Veneto, Fruili Venezia Giulia, and Trentino - and the eponymous Albino Armani is a Pinot Grigio specialist.

    #ItalianFWT Writers Look at Ramato Wines I am stepping in to host the July #ItalianFWT this month. The theme: Ramato wines. I wanted to give folks a little more latitude, especially since this invitation is a little late in the month. You still have about two weeks to pour and pair, but typically we have longer than that to source and prepare.  So, though Ramato wines will be our focus, the writers might be sharing a favorite Ramato or  any  Pinot Grigio if they can't find a skin-fermented Pinot Grigio. I'm even taking an Italian dish with origins in the northeastern province of Friuli Venezia Giulia or travel memories from that area, too. And if they want to be completely out of the box, they may have found a wine made in the Ramato style from anywhere in the world.  The Line-Up Another BIPOC Celebrity Wine that I'm anxious to share with you by A Day in the Life on the Farm Bibimbap and Pinot Gris Ramato, Sort Of by The Quirky Cork Fregola Sarda Con...

Here's a quick primer to whet your appetite. Ramato is a skin fermented Pinot Grigio, but don't make the mistake o...
