Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Critic 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 very light light color, almost clear looking. The smell was also a light with hints of sweetness. It had a very clean taste and was not nearly as sweet as I expected after smelling it. I enjoyed this wine because of how smooth it tasted.
No food was eaten with this tasting.
