The backstory
Ecco Domani is an Italian wine with a California parent. Gallo, the giant family-owned company from Modesto, launched it in the mid-1990s, and it grew into one of the best-selling imported Pinot Grigios in the US. The grapes come from the Delle Venezie area, which covers the hills and mountains of northeastern Italy, and the wine is made fresh and light with no oak.

Same price, but Matua is zingier and more citrusy; pick Ecco Domani if you like your white soft and easy.
