- Taste profile
Dry and light at 11% alcohol, framed by crisp citrus acidity. Lemon and green apple carry through over a lean, stainless-steel texture, the Verona and Venice fruit kept fresh rather than ripe. There is little weight or oak, in keeping with an easy everyday Pinot Grigio.
Clean and citrus-fresh on the close, finishing on lemon zest with a light saline edge that keeps it refreshing.
A dependable, sub-£10 aperitivo white that drinkers rate 3.4 on Vivino across 454 reviews. Sourced by Sergio de Luca from Veneto vineyards around Verona and Venice, it suits shellfish, light antipasti and easy weeknight drinking rather than cellaring. Best enjoyed young, within a year or two of the vintage.

Where Via Nova Pinot Grigio fits
A sub-£10 everyday white: strong on value and easy drinking, modest for cellaring or grand occasions.
A sub-£10, low-alcohol, easy-drinking white: close to an ideal everyday and weeknight bottle.
Pinot Grigio is the most familiar Italian white for newcomers; this light, dry, unoaked style at a low price is an easy, low-risk introduction.
Crisp 11% acidity makes it a flexible match for shellfish, light antipasti and fried seafood, though its neutral profile limits range with bolder dishes.
At around £9 it is fairly priced for a dependable delle Venezie Pinot Grigio; a 3.4 Vivino average across 454 ratings keeps it solid rather than standout value.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Citrus and acidity: dishes that fit Via Nova Pinot Grigio
Its lemon-and-green-apple profile and low 11% weight favour shellfish, light antipasti and fried seafood, and steer it clear of heavy spice.
Raw and steamed shellfish
Bright citrus acidity and a light 11% body mirror the saline freshness of shellfish, lifting briny flavours without weighing them down. Lemon and green apple act like a squeeze of citrus over the plate.
Try with: Oysters · Mussels · Crab · More pairings →
Fried and tempura seafood
Crisp acidity cuts through fried batter, and the low alcohol resets the palate between bites. A neutral, citrus-driven white keeps light fried seafood clean rather than heavy.
Try with: Prawn Tempura · Tempura · Salt and pepper prawns · More pairings →
Light Italian antipasti and primi
The lemon-and-green-apple profile sits beside tomato, basil and pesto without clashing, and the wine's leanness lets delicate primi speak. A classic everyday match for the Veneto table.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Trofie al pesto · Squid ink risotto · More pairings →
Delicate steamed fish
A clean, citrus-edged white balances the gentle salt and ginger of steamed fish and keeps the focus on freshness. Low alcohol avoids overwhelming subtle, flaky textures.
Try with: Steamed sea bass · Lemon chicken · More pairings →
Vegetable risotto and young cheeses
Light meets light: the acidity cuts the creaminess of a vegetable risotto and refreshes against fresh, young cheeses. It will not stand up to anything richer.
Try with: Pumpkin risotto · Radicchio risotto · Gorgonzola, pear, and walnut risotto · More pairings →
Heavy spice and tannic red meat
Fiery curries scorch the wine's delicate citrus and make it taste thin, while big tannic red-meat dishes flatten an 11% white. These call for an aromatic white or a structured red, not this glass.
Skip with: Rogan josh · Goan fish curry · Fiorentina steak · Beef wellington · Pairing guide →
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Built for immediate drinking with no ageing structure; there is nothing to gain from cellaring this delle Venezie white.
£9.06 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
