Barone Fini Pinot Grigio 2011 Val d'Adige DOC

The wine displays a very pale yellow pale wheat color in the glass.  On the nose there is medium intensity of peach and pear along with lemon and tangerine notes.  It seems to have a melange of pleasant aromas depending upon how your focus wanders.  On the palate the wine is dry, light bodied with mouth-watering acidity.  The flavors offered are light to medium intensity of citrus, especially lemon, along with a refreshing minerality in the background.  The finish is clean with a medium length of lingering lemon citrus being he dominant flavor.

Wine & Food: Serve chilled between 45F and 50F.  Certainly as an aperitif.  Ideally suited for lighter bodied dishes particularly delicate fish, seafood or shellfish.  You might try using fresh green herbs, greens olives, or citrus (lemon or lime) to highlight the wines flavors.

Approximate Retail Price: US15.00
