Expert 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 was light yellow in color. The aroma
was very buttery with hints of honey and peach. This wine was tart in the mid
palate, like an unripe apple. There was little balance in this wine as it was
hot going in to the aftertaste. It was light bodied and dry in the aftertaste.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
