Grigio Luna Pinot Grigio delle Venezia (by Villa Borghetti)
Italia: Veneto (Verona)
Pinot Grigio (white)
2005
Retail cost unknown (received as a gift at a house party)
78 pts
While this I.G.T. pinot doesn't taste badly, per se, it just doesn't taste much at all. Tastes and feels like chilled water with a slight hint of pear flavor up front, and just a touch more fruit at the mid-palette. Then the finish does a vanishing act...presto. Haven't tasted much pinot, so I'm by no means an expert, but have to believe that the best pinots out there have some taste. This wine lacks flavor, character, complexity. Even the nose, prior to drinking, is non-existent. A nice rich light-golden color, but looking pretty in a glass is about as good as this one gets.
