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 I noticed about the Cortenova Pinot Grigio is that it had an extremely light color to it, to the point that it was almost colorless. It had a very floral and fruity nose, with a hint of banana. It didn't have any particular scents that jumped out that I could pinpoint. The taste complemented the smell in that it tasted floral as well. All of the flavors were very light, crisp and smooth.
