Tasting - Tonnino

Name: Tonnino


Variety: Pinot Grigio


Region: Sicily

Country: Italy

Year: 2014

Price: $7.95
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 contained both a strong aroma and taste of green apple. A hint of citrus such as lemon or lime was also present and provided a nice acid level.  This wine was also quite tart and puckered my mouth when I tried it.  Finally, the aftertaste strongly reminded me of bananas.
