Tasting-Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Name: Tonnino
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: Tonnino had  a nice golden yellow color. It contained a mostly fruity nose with a peach aroma exploding but I also could detect hints of basil as well as an underlying metallic note. This wine had a crisp, clean taste and almost reminded me of dewy grass. The finish was very acidic.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
