Tasting #26 Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Tasting #26 Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Name: Tonnino Pinot Grigio
Varietal(s): Pinot Grigio
Region: Sicily, Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $14

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.

Personal review:  This wine was light bodied and had a nose of green apple and a slight hint of unripe pear. The palate was smooth and crisp, which is expected for a Pinot. Overall, I enjoyed this wine. It was light and had a balanced acidity that would pair well with a creamy cheese or a white fish.
