Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Venezie
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: The nose of this wine was of peaches and crisp apples. The wine tasted dry and acidic with hints of fruit and was very sweet, almost like candy corn, in the mid-palate. I really liked this wine and would definitely purchase it to have with dessert or salad. I also did not have this wine with any food.
