Tasting - Cortenova Pino Grigio



Name: Cortenova Pinot Grigio 
Variety: 100% Pino Grigio 
Region: Veneto 
Country: Italy 
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95

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."
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: The most notable thing about the nose on this wine was that I instantly salivated, so maybe that indicates high acidity (?). Not so much fruity as vegetative, almost like a sauvignon blanc. Strong front pallet
 of something grassy, but intensity mellows off with an easy finish. High heat at the attack on the front pallet.

Tasted without food.
