Tasting Week 11: gPG Garganega Pinto Grigio

Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Delle Venezia
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95 
Food?: Not Paired with Food.







Winery Review:
gPG is from the delle Venezie regions of north-eastern Italy.  A clean and crisp palate with plenty of texture and weight follows aromas of apples and zesty lemons.  It's perfect with grilled white fish or light risotto. 

My Review:
Featuring a heavy green-apple nose, this full-bodied Pinot Grigio was surprisingly smooth and very pleasing.  I could definitely detect the notes of lemon and apple on the mid-palate, and enjoyed this white's smooth finish.  A very mild Pinot Grigio all-in-all, but a perfect summer picnic white.
