Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio


Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Variety: 100% Pinot Gris

Region: Veneto

Country: Italy

Year: 2012

Price: $7.95

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.

My Review: This was a very nice Pinot Grigio. It was very light in color containing a pleasant aroma. I noticed hints of pear and apple in the taste and very little to no after taste. This was by no means my favorite Pinot Grigio however it would be a nice selection for anyone looking to try one.
