Tasting - Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio

 Name: Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio

Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio
Region: Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino
Country: Italy
Year: 2019
Price: $11

Winery review: Notes of meadow flowers, pears, and golden apple. The bouquet is fresh and complex, showing refined notes of sage and mint accompanied by an elegant minerality typical of Pinot Grigio. (Ruffino)

Wine Folly: pg. 499 Pinot Gris - I definitely tasted the lighter taste, but also could taste the peach parts in the wine. I did not taste the raw almond aspect of it, but I did manage to see why it could taste like gravel as mentioned. We did not get the right glass though to drink this wine as it was recommended to drink with a white glass.
My review: I actually really enjoyed this wine and it was a really smooth wine. The taste was peachy but managed to also include a strong lemon taste on the palate. It is definitely not as sweet as other wines I have had in the past, but I would come back to this wine. I had this wine without any food.
