Wine 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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: At first the smell was a little harsh, but after a few swirls the smell was citrusy. I could also smell and taste bananas, pears, orange and lime citruses. As with most Pinot Grigios, I really enjoyed this wine!
Extra Notes: Ended up buying a bottle! So yummy!
