Tasting--Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Variety: Pinot Grigio

Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: Regular $14, Sale $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:


-87 Points
-I was not really impressed with this wine, but I also didn't hate it. On the nose, I got strong apple and pear, with hints of earthiness. However, I did not really get anything on the taste. There were noticeably bitter tannins and a sour finish, but other than that, there was no flavor. I tried this wine on its own without food.
