Tasting- gPG Garganega Pinot Grigio




Name: gPG Garganega Pinot Grigio

Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: delle Venezie
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95


Professional review: gPG is from the delle Venezie regions of northeastern Italy. A clean and crisp palate with plenty of texture and weight follows aromas of apples and zesty lemons. It's perfect with grilled white fish or light risotto.

My review: This wine was not bad and not wonderful. The citrus notes were really obvious on the nose and I definitely got the zesty lemon taste. The weight of the wine was a little bit lighter than the description made it sound, but not exactly thin. It was almost a little too bitter, which kind of turned me off. However, I did not taste this wine with food so that would probably make it more balanced and less stringent.
