Tasting- Trattoria Busa Alla Torre De Lele























Name:  Trattoria Busa Alla Torre Da Lele
Variety:  Pinot Grigio
Region:  Veneto
Country:  Italy
Year: NV
Price:  $7.95
VC review:  Named after the famous restaurant in Italy! This is their house white wine! Coppery color from extended skin contact, round and rich texture with juicy melon aromas and flavors with a sweet fennel note on the ultra smooth finish. Great value Grigio! Drink now.
My notes:  The color was of yellow straw rather than my usual experience with ultra clear pinot grigios, due to the extended skin contact.  I think this also produced a much more rich and fuller wine.  The nose had hints of grapefruit and floral components, as did the taste of the wine.  I would like to visit this restaurant, but I very well could have because when I went to Venice, I didn't remember much.  Fun town.  
Food:  n/a
