Tasting-Cortenova Pinot Grigio

Name:  Cortenova Pinot Grigio
Variety:  Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris
Region:  Veneto
Country:  Italy
Year:  2012
Price:  $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections.  Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste.
Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with
clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif.

My Review:  This wine had a very strong smell of banana bread.  The taste was delicious.  It was a mixture of being slightly acidic and sweetish.  When I was tasting the wine, it reminded me of being on a boat or at the beach.  I was not eating any food while at the tasting.
