Tasting- Cortenova Pinot Grigio

This 2012 Cortenova Pinot Grigio is made from 100% pinot grigio in the Cortenova Estate in Veneto, Italy priced at $7.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "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". I thought this was a very fresh wine, the color was extremely white, almost clear. This wine smelt of ripe, sweet fruit and tasted refreshing and sweet, yet not as sweet as a wine such as Moscato.
