Tasting Week 13: Macaron Pinot Grigio


Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Tre Venezie
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $9.99 
Food?: Paired with Pasta and Tomato Sauce




Winery Review:
Sophisticated aromas of fresh citrus and honeysuckle followed by a crisp, refreshing finish.

My Review:  
On the nose, this golden white is floral with some hints of fresh lemon.  On the palate, floral notes mingle with hints of fresh green apple, leading to a smooth finish.  The pasta and tomato sauce subdued the more floral notes, bringing out the green apple and pear.  This Pinot would also make a fantastic apertif.
