Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Critic 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 sweetly of ripe fruits, such as bananas and pears.  The taste was light, fruity and acidic.  This wine was clean and refreshing.  I am a big fan of Pinot Grigio, so I would drink this wine again.

I tasted this wine without food.
