Tasting- Banfi Le Rime Pinot Grigio Toscana



Name: Banfi Le Rime Pinot Grigio Toscana
Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany
Year: 2012
Price: $9.99

Wine Shop Review: Hints of pear and white flowers. Well balanced with an unusually lively acidity. A splendid aperitif and a delightful complement to anitpasto, pasta, and light meals. Pale straw in color. Fresh bouquet with lemon and apple aromas. Dry and well balanced, with crisp apple and citrus notes
My Review: This Pinot Grigio was very pleasant to me. It definitely had the very strong flowery nose, but I was also able to pick up on some slight honey. The color was very interesting as it was darker than all of the other whites that I tasted. It had a mineral taste with some slight crisp apple taste. I also liked the slight orange peel that presented itself late in the tasting.

I did not taste this wine with food.
