Tasting: Cortenova Pinot Grigio






Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: Italy
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 aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine  Perfect also as an aperitif
My Review: This wine smelled very fruity to me, I got hints of banana smell. It was a very light wine with a fairly sweet taste. I was a very refreshing wine and I definitely agree that it would be a perfect wine to serve with appetizers. Overall I enjoyed the wine a lot.
