Tasting - "Cortenova Pinot Grigio"


Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/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. 
Your review: This wine was light yellow in color and had a tart, fruity smell. It made me pucker in the back of my cheeks and had a light floral, less intense taste to it. I gave it two stars.
•Did not consume with food.
