Lumina Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio

Large production Pinot Grigio’s from decent wineries are the best values ever. There, I said it.

Drinkable as a decent backup, drier, not-quite-emergency wine

Ok but not my favorite.

Very sweet

I don’t get much from this wine. Honeydew notes, but not much else. Very little acidity, very little of the hay note associated with Pinot Grigio. Perfectly drinkable but not very exciting.

Emily brought it over.

Bright, light, and fruity. Present lime and pear. Clean, crisp finish.

Color of light egg white. Nose flowering note, crayon, Sprite, a bit mineral, ripe pineapple and banana. The fragrance is above average. Taste of pretty solid sweet pineapple, good acidity, and mineral. Aftertaste is a bit too short with some mineral on the tongue and some warmth. A bit too light yet with the price tag, pretty good.

Drinkable, but just not that good, it was a little sour for my taste. I probably would not have it again.

Love this wine! Reasonably priced - decent - pairs well with chicken and seafood or even just a salad. Surprise find of a gem. 😊
