Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio


Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar ReviewBrilliant 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: Nice, sweet nose with a fruity apple bouquet. Smooth and sweet, hints of pear and light fruits. I got a pleasing aftertaste tasting sort of like licorice or mint. This would be a good wine to sip on with friends before a meal.

I tried this wine on its own.
