Tasting- Cortenova Pinot Grigio



Name: Cortenova
Variety:  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.

Personal Review: The color was golden. Upon first swirl I could really smell the pears. Overall, the flavor was sweet but not too sweet. The wine was fruity dry and it had a nice smooth finish. I would be curious to see how it would taste with food.
