Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

  
Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif.

My Review: Almost water-like in color, this wine has a soft fruity bouquet and a taste to match. It was easy on the palate, and I imagine it would be quite refreshing if chilled and consumed on a warm summer eve.

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
