Tasting - Casa Bella

Name: Casa Bella Provincia di Pavia
Variety: Pinot Grigio (Orange Wine)
Region: Pavia
Country: Italy
Year: 2017
Price: $9.95

Review: "Produced by macerating Pinot Grigio grape must with its skins. The skins’ pink hue give the wines its copper color. Flavors of green pear, pomegranate, and honeysuckle. It is somewhat of a big burst of opulent tropical flowers, orchid-like scented, with hints of flower, pungent oily floral notes."

My review: Interesting... this wine is like the opposite of a Sour Patch Kid - it's sweet, then turns sour. Light bodied, tart, flavors of cherries, raspberries and citric acid. I'd say the finish was the most exciting part of this wine. Sadly this orange wine is not gold-medal worthy, it gets another "okay" rating from me.

I tasted this wine without food.
