Ruffino Pinot Grigio Lumina 2009: Review


Venezia Giulia
Pontassieve, Italia
12% abv
$10.00

I bought this bottle to cook my spicy garlic and buttered mussels in and they were delicious. 

Appearance: pale straw

Aroma: pear, spice, light citrus, floral, aromatic

Flavors: wonderful summertime flavors, red grapefruit, pear, nectarine, grated orange peel, spice, and a touch of floral.

Mouthfeel: crisp feel on the delivery, on the full side of medium in weight for a white wine, spicy notes on the finish with a little warmth from the alcohol. 

My Strength Rating: 5.5 – firm body weight plays on the palate

To the Point: Very tasty white, don’t waste this on some boring white fish.  Grill up the salmon, chicken, veal chop. 

I added this wine to the mussels and added some extra garlic.
