Casarsa Pinot Grigio
Friuli cooperative Pinot Grigio, dry and crisp since 1931.
The story behind Casarsa
Casarsa comes out of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeast Italy, from the Cantina Sociale of Casarsa, a cooperative founded in 1931 by 70 small growers who pooled their fruit and their money. That cooperative is now Vini La Delizia, and it still works the delle Venezie appellation the same way: cooperative vineyards, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, no oak, no age.
We have poured this for Long Island customers for years because it does one thing honestly. One hundred percent Pinot Grigio, 12.0% ABV, bone dry, high acid, citrus and crisp pear. It is not trying to be a $40 bottle from Collio. It is trying to be the cold white you reach for on a Tuesday, and it succeeds.

Which Casarsa is right for you?
This is value-tier Italian wine, and we price it that way. The Casarsa Pinot Grigio 750mL runs $6.98, and the 1.5L magnum is $10.99, which works out to roughly the price of two standard bottles for a format that fills a table. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon magnums are also $10.99. Nothing here is a splurge. Buy Casarsa online for pickup in Commack or local delivery, and keep a magnum chilled in the door of the fridge for the nights you do not want to think about it.
Dry, cold and $6.98, so opening a second bottle costs nothing.
One magnum, twelve percent, enough for a crowd without a second trip.
Firmer red in a big bottle for anyone skipping the white.
