Tasting - "Cortenova Pinot Grigio 2012"


  • Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio 2012
  • Variety: Pinot Grigio
  • Region: Venezie

  • 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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine.
  • My Review: This wine had a very clear appearance, with just a hint of yellow hue to it. I was able to detect a floral and slightly fruity scent, though I could not distinguish what fruit the scent reminded me of. The wine tasted moderately sweet with very little detectable acidity. This was not my favorite out of this tasting, but I had no major complaints.
