A Venice, Italy Pinot Grigio: Wine Reviewed
Cantina Gabriele Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie IGT 2009 12 % alcohol about $14
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Another quality effort from Cantina Gabriele, this Pinot Grigio is pale lemon in color with aromas of fresh apple, white peach, citrus zest and a light honey note on the nose. It's dry, light bodied and refreshing with apple and pear flavors leading to a medium-length finish. Terrific as a summer sipper or enjoy with grilled chicken breast, summer salads or light fish dishes. (VINTAGES panel, Feb. 2011). “ And now for my review.
I was unhappy when the cork started to crumble as I opened the bottle. At the first sips this wine was somewhat sour and musky. Japanese Wasabi crackers rounded the Pinot Grigio. The first meal was barbecued chicken with lots of paprika on the skin. The wine was metallic and tasted of burnt sugar without being sweet. Its acidity was refreshing. Zesty guacamole weakened this wine. The fruit juice candy dessert made me taste something burnt in the liquid.
