Tasting- Gabbiano Pinot Grigio

I did not pair this wine with food

Name: Gabbiano Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Delle Venizie
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $13.50

Winemaker's Notes: The Gabbiano Pinot Grigio is a sunny straw-yellow color. Floral notes caress the nose, with nuances of pear and honeydew melon. Citrus flavors are evident on the palate delivering complex flavors of green apple, orange and faint lemon. The mouth feel is lively and full in structure created by the excellent harmony of fruit and acid. The wine is light-bodied, with a long finish that reveals hints of citrus and almonds.

My Review: This wine was bought specifically for the label, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The nose of the wine was very citrus-y, with hints of peach blossoms. The wine had a slight petrol taste that I was not particularly fond of. There there was definitely a clash of Pinot and Grigio going on.
