Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Region: Venezie
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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.

My  Review: This wine had a smooth aroma with a hint of citrus. When I tasted the wine, I felt the initial blast of flavor but I was pleased by the smooth mid-palate. The aftertaste didn't have too much of a bite but I could really taste the oak flavors come out.

I tried this wine without any food.
