"This straw-colored wine has a light, pleasant nose of white flowers and an engaging feminine personality. The wine is refreshingly dry, with light body and a short perfumed finish''

Some of the specific flavors and aromas that are mentioned in a Pinot Grigio are white peach, lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, and crushed gravel. This is interesting because I did not really get any hints of any of these flavors, maybe a little bit of lemon zest with how tart this wine was but that is about it. Another thing from this page is that among the five flavors in wine, acidity sticks out for this wine. I definitely picked this up as this wine was extremely acidic.

Mentions that Pinot Grigio is best from Alto Adige and Friuli. Apparently in the Alto Adige wines are more fruity with a fierce acidity, so I would definitely like to try a higher shelf tier of Pinot Grigio, because I feel like I would really like it but this was just very cheap.
My Review:
This wine was extremely light bodied. Like to the point where when I took a sip it literally felt like I was drinking water. While I was able to pick up some fruity flavors, this wine just felt like it was not packing much. It was very bland. Some of the specific flavors I got were pear and heavy green apple so maybe the malic acid content was stronger in this wine. It was very tart, for every single sip I took, which usually I find the tartness of the wine decreases the more I drink but this was not the case. Definitely do not regret buying and trying this wine because it was very cheap, but I would not buy it again. I did not pair this wine with any foods.
