Variety: 
Pinot Grigio

Country: Italy
Year: 2012

Vintage Cellar 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.  Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif. 
My Review: This wine has a very light color, almost clear.  It smelled slightly floral.  This wine did not have much taste.  I tasted pears with a bananna aftertaste.  It is an uncomplicated easy drinking wine.  I thought this wine was so-so.
Food: Not tasted with food
