Italo Cescon 2024 Pinot Grigio
They tie a little bit of grapevine on each bottle as a marketing gimmick. I'm not opposed to a gimmick or two though.
Nose is Herbal, Grass, Lemon, Melon.
Taste is floral, lemon, and an intense acidity alongside too much sweetness. Kind of a cloying bitter aftertaste. Not a lot of flavor besides the acidity and sweetness.
I am biased on this one as I'm not a huge pinot grigio fan, but I don't think this brought anything to the table a $5 supermarket bottle would. For these wines I do enjoy, I like ones on the more floral, dry side. I am ok with acidity, but it was mixed with too much sweetness and not enough other flavor.
I checked while writing this and the wine does get relatively favorable reviews, Wine Enthusiast gave it a 91. If you've had this and think differently, let me know on my contact form.
It didn't help that the acidity and sugar gave me terrible heartburn.
