Tasting - Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris 
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date: March 21, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery 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 Thoughts: Clear, watery color. Aroma of citrus and sweet fruits. Pear and apricot.  Flavor is citrusy and light. Very dry, but balanced. Was pleasant to drink. Seems a little basic to me but defiantly a variety to look into further.
