Casa Vinicola Sartori
Sartori's Vigna Mescita Pinot Grigio is a crisp Delle Venezie DOC white made from Pinot Grigio. Expect pear, white peach, citrus and floral notes, with two UK listings around £9-£10 for seafood and light antipasti.
Casa Sartori ferments this delle Venezie Pinot Grigio cool, at 17 to 18C in steel with selected yeasts, to protect its pear and citrus aromatics. More than 4,000 Vivino drinkers settle on the same picture: green apple, pear and a stony, saline edge.
Pale straw in the glass, with a nose Casa Sartori describes as pear and ripe apple lifted by floral and citrus notes. Across more than 4,000 Vivino ratings, drinkers return to the same markers: green apple, pear and lemon, with a faint stony, saline lift behind the fruit. It smells fresh and direct rather than showy, the signature of a cool, steel-fermented delle Venezie Pinot Grigio.

AlmondDry and light to medium-bodied, with the bright acidity you expect from fruit fermented cool, at 17 to 18C in steel with no oak. Green apple and pear carry the mid-palate, edged with citrus and a chalky, mineral note that drinkers flag again and again. It stays crisp and clean, built for refreshment rather than weight.
The finish is short to medium and citrus-fresh, closing dry with the gentle tropical hint Sartori notes and an almond twist typical of northern Italian Pinot Grigio.
An honest, everyday delle Venezie Pinot Grigio: its Vivino score of 3.6 from over 4,000 ratings reads as reliable and easy rather than profound, which is exactly the job at under 10 pounds. Serve it cold as an aperitif or with seafood, and drink the current release young.
The linked UK retailers sit between £8.46 and £10 for the 2024 and 2025 releases. This is a sub-£10 everyday Pinot Grigio built for the current vintage, so buy the freshest bottle rather than holding it.
These scores read the wine for what it is, a crisp and well-priced everyday Pinot Grigio. It rates high for easy food matching and value, low for cellaring and occasion, just as a sub-£10 delle Venezie white should.
A sub-£10 price, fresh unoaked style and screwcap closure make it an ideal midweek and aperitif white to open without occasion.
Textbook crowd-friendly Pinot Grigio: dry, light, fruit-forward and free of tannin, oak or challenging structure, so a newcomer knows what to expect.
Bright acidity and a low 12% alcohol make this a very flexible table white across seafood, antipasti and lighter Veneto dishes.
At £8.46 to £10 for a competent branded delle Venezie DOC with a 3.6 Vivino average, it is dependable everyday value rather than a bargain unicorn.

Sartori makes this unoaked and bottles it young, so vintage swings are small. The 2024 and 2025 are the current UK releases, both at their best within a year or two of harvest.
The newest release, made in the same cool-fermented, unoaked style. Built for early drinking, so enjoy it through 2027 to 2028 while it stays crisp and aromatic.
A fresh, current-release vintage of Sartori's unoaked Pinot Grigio. Drink it young, ideally within a couple of years of harvest, while the pear and citrus are at their brightest.

Casa Vinicola Sartori has worked the Verona hills since 1898 and sources this Pinot Grigio from hill vineyards across the Tre Venezie, the Veneto, Friuli and Trentino zone behind the delle Venezie DOC.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Delle Venezie is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Delle Venezie falls within Friuli Venezia Giulia , covering Friuli Venezia Giulia · Trentino-South Tyrol · Veneto.
Sartori draws this Pinot Grigio from hill vineyards across the Veneto, Friuli and Trentino delle Venezie zone, Italy's largest Pinot Grigio appellation. Scale and a broad grape pool keep fruit cost and shelf price under £10.
The wine is cool-fermented in steel at 17 to 18C and bottled young, per Casa Sartori. Skipping barrels and long cellar time removes the cost line that pushes Veneto reds like Amarone past £30.
At 12% ABV the 2026 HMRC still-wine duty is £2.67 a bottle, and 20% VAT adds about £1.50 on a £9 wine. Tax alone is close to £4.20, a large share of a sub-£10 price.
A screwcap and a standard 75cl bottle, rather than heavy glass and a branded cork, trim the per-unit cost and suit a wine meant to be opened young.
Sartori is widely exported to the UK, so importer and retailer margins, not the winemaking, make up much of the gap between cellar cost and the £8.46 to £10 paid here.
Dishes that complement this wine
Sartori points this wine at seafood starters, fish and lighter plates, and its lemon-fresh delle Venezie acidity does the work, lifting brine and cutting richness without overwhelming delicate textures.
Bright, lemon-fresh acidity is this wine's main tool. It slices through the salt and iodine of mussels, clams and salt-cod antipasti, refreshing the palate between bites the way a squeeze of lemon would. At 12% alcohol it never fights their delicate texture.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · Fregula ai frutti di mare · Baccala Mantecato · More pairings →
Fried schie, octopus and salt cod carry oil and richness that need cutting, not matching. The wine's acidity and light body scrub the palate clean, while its quiet pear and apple fruit keeps the seafood in front.
Try with: Polenta e schie · Polpo alla pignata · Baccala a Ciuredda · More pairings →
The wine's apple, citrus and white-flower aromatics bridge to fresh basil and tomato, while its acidity answers the sweetness of ripe tomato and the milky pull of mozzarella. A classic light Veneto white for a summer antipasto.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Eggplant parmesan · Torta pasqualina · More pairings →
A light-bodied wine for light-bodied rice. It sits beside the gentle flavours of risi e bisi or a seafood risotto without flattening them, and its acidity lifts the butter and cheese that can make risotto heavy.
Try with: Risi e bisi · Squid ink risotto · Risotto alla Milanese · More pairings →
Sweet crab meat, steamed mussels and tempura prawns share a saline, delicate character that the wine's citrus acidity balances cleanly. It keeps each mouthful fresh and lets the natural sweetness of the shellfish read.
Try with: Crab · Mussels · Prawn Tempura · More pairings →
This is a low-tannin, delicate white, so it vanishes against food that needs structure. Chilli heat amplifies its alcohol and strips the fruit, while braised red meat and blue cheese simply flatten it. Pour an Italian red such as Valpolicella, or a fuller Soave, for those plates instead.
Skip with: Beef vindaloo · Sichuan hot pot · braised short rib · Gorgonzola · Pairing guide →
There is little to gain from cellaring this one. Steel fermentation and no oak make it about freshness, and the fruit softens after a year or two, so treat the current release as a buy-and-drink white.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Steel-fermented, unoaked and bottled young with no ageing structure; it is built for early drinking, not the cellar.

Yes, this bottle page is for the white still wine. Sartori also appears in retailer results for a rose Vigna Mescita, so the white wine style should stay explicit.
Expect a light, crisp profile with pear, apple, white peach, citrus and floral notes. The current sources point to a fresh northern Italian style rather than an oaked or full-bodied white.
Seafood, fish, light antipasti and vegetable dishes are the best matches. The page connects it to Baccala Mantecato, Insalata Caprese, crab and prawn tempura.
Current linked UK retailer listings put the 2024 bottle around £9-£10. Prices can move as retailers update availability, so compare the live offers on the page.
Yes if you want the fresh, current-release style of this Pinot Grigio. This wine is built for early drinking, so the active 2024 listings are suitable for near-term drinking rather than cellaring.
