Tasting Il Casato- Pinot Grigio

 

This is Il Casato:

Grape Variety: Pinot Grigio 

Country of Origin: Italy

Region of Origin: Valdadige

Vintage: 2021

Price: $10.99

I tasted, what was left, of this Pinot Grigio with my friend. This had been opened and recorked and sitting in fridge prior to us drinking it. So it was slightly chilled. 

Wine Folly: (Page 149): According to wine folly, this wine has flavors of white peach, lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, and crushed gravel.

My Review: 
Initially, this wine smelled instantly like cucumber and butter to me. But I did have to keep in mind this wine has sat opened (recorked) in the fridge for about a week. Once I tasted this wine, I was instantly hit with notes of lemon, pears, and grass. So, I 100% agree with Wine Folly when it comes to the lemon zest. 

Critic Review: 

"...Opens with an attractive aroma of apple, pear, and tropical fruits with a touch of honeysuckle. Taking a sip reveals that this is a pretty nice Pinot Grigio. Plenty Flavorful and with nice crispness this is quite refreshing."
