Tasting Cortenova 2012 Pinot Grigio


 Name: Cortenova
 Variety: Pinot Grigio
 Region: Venezie
 Country: Italy
 Year: 2012
 Price: $7.99
 Shop/wine critic/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: First, this white wine looked very clear with a golden accent. It tasted sweet and smooth, I liked how its aftertaste was not bitter like most of the wine I've had. I can taste some of the fruity flavors that are in the wine, although I cannot tell what kind of fruits they are. 
*I had this wine during a wine tasting session with no food.
