Cortenova Pinot Grigio 2012



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

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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.

My Review:  This was not my favorite Pinot Grigio thus far.  The initial taste was crisp and fruity.  It was smooth but had a little too much heat towards the end of the taste.  The tannins were also not blended well with the other flavors. 
I did not taste this with food.
