Wine Flavor Profile

Farinelli is a light-bodied white wine with expressive aromas of ripe orchard and citrus fruits. The palate is vibrant and fresh, with pear, white peach red apple and lime flavors. Long, clean finish.

Pinot Grigio is one of our most-loved (and asked for) wines. There’s a lot of it out there, so we get excited when we discover one that’s really special.

Enter: Farinelli Pinot Grigio from the gorgeous, seaside estate of Federica d’Amato and Pasquale Caldora. This dynamic winemaking duo are renowned for their meticulous approach—both in the vineyard and the winery—which is on full delicious display here.

Sourced from a tiny, prime-sited plot of vines in the rolling hills of Pescara, this juicy-fresh Pinot Grigio offers everything fans look for. This 2023 release displays vibrant white peach, lime and crunchy red apple aromas and flavors.

Pinot Grigio, especially one with terrific complexity, is the perfect aperitivo. It’s also a no-brainer served with dishes like lemon chicken piccata, grilled seafood and more.

Although she initially rejects an offer by Joe Backett to become his business partner at the Neptune swimming suit design company, aquatic ballet dancer Eve Barrett changes her mind when she considers the publicity potential of the job. One day, Joe learns that a South American polo team will be playing a big match in town, and he and Eve begin planning a swimming spectacle for the event. Eve tells her man-crazy sister and roommate Betty about the South American team, and Betty immediately seizes upon the idea of finding herself a date among the players. Meanwhile, Jose O'Rourke, the handsome playboy captain of the polo team, seeks relief for his injured arm from Jack Spratt, a bumbling masseur, who complains to Jose about his lack of success with women. During the massage, Jose gives Jack advice on how to attract women, stressing the importance of speaking to women in Spanish, which he calls the "language of love."
