Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio 
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris 
Region: Veneto 
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 aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif (Vintage Cellar).


My Review: One of the first things that stood out to me about this wine was its very light color.  It was very fruity but didn't really have any outstanding flavor to the nose.  It seemed to be a very light wine.  I could definitely see myself enjoying this wine while eating a plate of seafood.
