| Pinot Grigio tasting label |
Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Region: Delle Venezie
Country: Italy
Year: 2021
Online Tasting Notes: "Full and complex, this wine has a nose that hints of pineapple, pears, and sweet lemons. Tropical fruits are integrated with the zest of citrus fruits and give way to a creamy mid-palate." [Gary's Wine]
Wine Folly Notes: I picked up on the peach quite well and definitely felt the citrus, which must've been the lemon zest. I didn't get the cantaloupe at all, but that may be due to the clear dryness present in the wine. [WineFolly.com]
My Notes: Our tasting group chose to begin our journey with Pinot Grigio due to its acclaim as a good beginner's wine, and this reputation exists for a good reason. Prior to tasting, I took in the aroma - a soft, sweet smell that made me excited to try my first sip. However, when I first tried it, all I could think was how remarkably neutral it tasted. After a few more sips, I could make out hints of peach, pear, and apple, but I felt that the dryness overpowered much of the taste. This wine was certainly a good introduction to white wines at a fantastic price, but I do not intend to purchase it again.
I did not pair this wine with food.
