Tasting - Trattoria Busa Alla Torre Da Lele



Name: Trattoria Busa Alla Torre Da Lele
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: NV
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: "Named after the famous restaurant in Italy! This is their house white wine! Coppery color from extended skin contact, round and rich texture with juicy melon aromas and flavors with a sweet fennel note on the ultra smooth finish. Great value Grigio! Drink now." Vintage Cellar wine notes

My Review: I believe this is the first Pinot Grigio we've at the VC this semester, and what a better time for one! Very light, crisp spring wine that would pair well with a picnic and a warm day. Very fruity from the nose to the finish with an emphasis on peach and apple flavor profiles. Medium bodied with a little more color than most whites but I enjoyed the strong acidity and distinct flavors of the Gris. Score one for Pinot Grigio!

I sampled the wine without food.
