Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio 2012

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Region: Venezie
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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.

My Review: This wine had a fairly flowery smell. It was a very light wine which I enjoyed and had a warm finish. Despite being a dry wine, I did not find this wine to be too dry and there were nice flavors of pear and apple.  

I did not have this wine with food.
