Fox Valley Magazine March Wine of the Month!
Sun Goddess by Mary J Blige, Pinot Grigio Ramato, 2021 - $19.99 (10% off for Fox Valley Magazine Wine of the Month!)
Iconic Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, actress, producer and philanthropist, Mary J. Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation and empowerment making her one of the defining voices of the contemporary music era.
Bouquet is intense and complex, with hints of fruits (peach, melon and blackberries). On the palate it is full-bodied and velvety, with a pleasant acidity, soft tannins and a finish rich in mineral sensations. With origins in Italy’s northeastern province of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Ramato (Italian for “auburn” or “copper”) wines are produced by macerating Pinot Grigio grape must with its skins. The skins’ pink hue gives the wines color from a semi- pale pink to dark orange, depending on maceration time. Wines Of The Month | March 2023 - Fox Valley Magazine
