Winery Review:
Tonnino's exotic example of Pinot Grigio has a straw to pale gold color. It is fresh and clean on the nose with fruity notes of pear, green apple and white peaches. The palate is true to the nose with a fresh acidity, coriander and lime notes followed by a crisp finish. This wine pairs well with youthful aperitifs, clams or mussels, pastas and risotto dishes.
My Review:
This wine had a very potent smell; it smelled of grapefruit, and pears. The most striking thing was that it tasted very soft and like it was freshly cut from the steam. When tasted, it was a very dry wine with a touch of heat at the end of the taste. The flavor was almost a watered down grapefruit flavor. It seems like it would pair well with fish and salads since it was so dry. This was tasted without food.
