Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio


Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Region: Venezie, Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Shop 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: Very herbaceous with floral notes, pear came forward as the dominant flavor. As the shop review says it was easy drinking which meant for me very low alcohol and very low acid. A simple wine with a smooth finish.
