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: This was a good wine to start off with: clear and light, nothing too heavy on the palate. It smelled mostly like strawberries, almost with a cough syrup-like scent. Just like the smell, it was light on the tongue but tasted more of pear than strawberries.
