2007 Corte Giara Pinot Grigio
This Pinot Grigio from the Veneto is a light citrus driven wine with simple complexities. The aromas profile consists of citrus drop, creamy lemon curd, and a touch of yeast. Perhaps this wine was partially aged on the lees and for this reason it comes across as slightly creamy in nature.On the palate this wine is very light with flavors of creamy lemon lime and a touch of kiwi. There is very little acid in this wine which I found to be quite disappointing considering that this category only has a few things going for it, and one of those thing just happens to be good acid. It is a simple, light, picnic style quaffer at best.I believe wines in this category need to have a more razor sharp acidity and a bit more focus and crispness.
