Wine Tasting: Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova
Variety: 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 aftertaste.  Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine.  Perfect aperitif.  -Vintage Cellar 3/21/13


My Review:  What a fruity and refreshing wine!  This pale golden wine is slightly floral with strong green apple and pear flavor.  Though it has a small acidic bite, it is sweet, simple and refreshing! 
 

Food: I did not try this wine with food.
