Tasting - Coretenova Pinot Grigio

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.

My review: The nose of this wine was refreshing with hints of lemon, pears, and other citrus. The wine was crisp and slightly dry and tasted of apricots. It was a refreshing wine and tasted different than other Pinot Grigio's I have had, although the dryness was expected.
