2015 Cortenova Pinot Grigio Puglia IGT - 88 PTS - BEST BUY - BTI

bti"Pale straw color. Musty aromas and flavors of overripe peaches, sour cream, and hay with a supple, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a smooth, captivating, breezy lemon spritzed melon rind, green apple, and dusty earth finish. A nice, light, citrusy pinot grigio that will work well at the table."

2013 Cortenova Pinot Grigio Puglia IGT - 88 PTS - IWINE

iwinereview"This is a nice, mineral-infused Pinot Grigio. It's bright and fresh like a Pinot Grigio should be with herbal and citrus notes, good flavor density (unlike many inexpensive Italian whites), and excellent persistence. It's the kind of wine that would pair grilled fish or can be drunk as a summer aperitif.
