Votto Vines announced new additions to its Connecticut portfolio. First, Onda Blu Terre Siciliane Lucido Pinot Grigio Frizzante IGT NV, a wine that is light, fresh, fizzy and bursting with citrus flavors. Onda Blu translates to “blue wave” in Italian, making it a bubbly sipper as the weather warms up. Secondly, two new wines from Torii Mor Winery in Willamette Valley debut in the state. Torii Mor Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022, which has earned double 90-point scores, is a fruit-forward yet elegant wine with harmony of acidity, sweetness and spiciness, leading to fresh bright red and dark fruit. Torii Mor Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2023 offers vibrant flavors of crisp green apple, citrus and pear, balanced by a refreshing minerality. Its clean finish and bright acidity make it a versatile and easy-drinking white wine.
- Onda Blu Terre Siciliane Lucido Pinot Grigio Frizzante IGT NV is made with Lucido and Pinot Grigio grapes, with a light to medium body complemented by crisp acidity, for a refreshing and invigorating finish.
- Torii Mor Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022 displays rich aromas of fresh raspberries, sweet and plump dark cherries with complex mushrooms, earth and oak notes framed by notes of vanilla and spices.
- Torii Mor’s Pinot Gris 2023 displays a light golden color, a rich forward aroma of fresh grapefruit and tropical fruits with white flower floral notes.
