Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Varietal: Pinot Gris
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Wine Shop 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 had a pale yellow, almost clear color to it. There were distinctive grassy scents and tastes of pear, banana, and apricot. Good wine.

I tasted this wine by itself.
