Cortenova
Pinot Grigio 
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Price: $7.95
Region: Venezie, Italy
Country: Italy
Year: 2012

Description: 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.

This fruity white wine has a subtle apple taste, with a smooth finish. It did not burn like some wines do, and was actually quite enjoyable. I did not have it with food, but it was the first of five I tasted, so its flavor was not spoiled by any preceding ones.
