Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar 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: On the nose, the wine was very fresh and clean smelling. It had a hint of pear to it, but overall the smell in general was very soft, not at all offensive. The taste, as well, was very subtle. It almost tasted as if there wasn't really much to the wine at all, almost kind of like a mildly flavored water. Overall the taste was somewhat bland and underwhelming. The wine was also a little dry. Although it didn't taste awful, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to have this wine again.
I did not have any food with this wine.
