Cortenova Pinot Grigio 
Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio 
Variety: Pinot Gris/ Pinot Grigio 
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Cortenova Pinot Grigio 2012 is made from 100% Pinot Grigio. 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: On the nose, this wine smelt very fruity. On the palate, this wine brought the fruit notes and was overall a very clean and fresh wine. I was surprised that I actually could get some of the "hint of almonds" as described in the wine review. Although I am not a huge white wine fan, this is something I can see myself drinking.
