Tasting - Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Name: Tonnino Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $14

Shop 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 pale yellow wine has wonderful sweet and fresh nose. Peaches and honeysuckle fill the nose. The wine is a bit sour with peach and pineapple flavors and a dry aftertaste.
