Blog Entry: Review Torrediluna Pinot Grigio ‘07 Tonight we decided to try a
Pinot Grigio from Italy
with our chicken dinner. I must admit as I have in the past, I love all wines
but tend to lean more to the red varietals. However, in the middle of summer,
white wines tend to be a great choice with light summer meals.
As we let this wine open up I
hoped that the nose and the taste on the palate would be enjoyable. The color was of light
transparent straw and the nose I felt was faint, although I could detect a
slight fruit smell possible melon or peach with citrus undertones. As I sipped
the wine it was light bodied and the after taste tart and crisp with a medium
finish.
Pinot Grigio is produced in Italy . The Italians
produce great amounts of this popular wine. It is a light-bodied, high-acid,
delicate white. The grape famous for producing Pinot Grigio wines was
originally discovered by monks in the Alsace
region of France
in the 14th century. According to history, its popularity quickly spread to Italy , where it
flourishes today. Depending on the producer as well as the country Pinot Grigio
tastes/ aromas will vary. In France
this wine is Pinot Gris and tends to be rich and fuller bodied with slightly
more fruit detected.
I like a wine where I enjoy
the aroma and it pleases the palate. This wine was on the dryer side; with not
much to speak of other than it was a cool drink on a hot day.
This wine will cost you anywhere from $10-$12
a bottle.....
