You get a lot of pinot grigio for your money with this wine which has more flavour than most of its Italian cousins...
Osco is new regional designation within the Adriatic province of Molise. This offers just about everything you want...

Pear, peaches, and nuts on the nose. It is medum-bodied, creamy, with crisp acidity and plenty of fruit. Great value.
Lots of fruit, melon, banana. Great value.
Wow. Maybe I just don't get what Grigio's are supposed to taste like, but I had to put water in this just to be able to choke it down. The alcohol is not balanced by the flavour, making it reminiscent of mouthwash or paint thinner. I far prefer the similarly-priced Pinot Grigio's from Argentina. 75 (Average) is the lowest rating available, but I'd put it at about 45. Tasted the 2012 vintage, November 2013.
