Shop/Critic/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 impressions: Fruity, slightly floral nose. Citrusy, quite acidic. Somewhat bitter aftertaste. Would be much better with food, which shouldn't be surprising for an Italian wine.
