Tasting-Inycon 2022







Name: Inycon 2022

Variety: Pinot Grigio

Country or Origin: Italy

Region of Origin: Terra Siciliane, Mendoza

Price: $10.00


Wine Folly: Page 149 on Pinot Gris (AKA pinot grigio) It should have tastes of lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, peach and crushed gravel. 


My Review: I am usually not a white wine guy if I say so myself. But this white wine has me feeling different. It’s a very light bodied wine that  has a very fruity flavor. I specifically notice the fragrances and tastes of lemon. I also notice an earthy nutty undertone that makes my taste buds tingle. I was able to pair this wine with chocolate chip cookies that my roommate made and I do not think the rich flavor of the cookie paired well with the light fruity flavors of the wine. I also noticed a nice effervescence of flowers when I smelled it.


Wine review online: Nick Simonis said simple wine, but very nice price, citrus and apple on the pallet

Off the nose it really does not do anything as I get notes of bleach. It does not taste very good either as it tastes sort of chemically as well. I paired it with some bellavitano cheese as well and the cheese was good but when I paired it with the wine it overpowered the cheese and it w...

It should have medium-low sweetness and medium high alcohol along with a medium-low body. My Review: I was a big fan of this sparkling chardonnay it is very good and one of my favorite wines we had. The bubbles add a nice texture and the high tannins and crisp flavors makes me feel like I'm sitting under a tree in the summer eating a tart green apple.

Wine review online: ight cranberry color, juicy strawberry-watermelon fruit aromas, nice mineral, nice lift of spring flowers and fresh zest from cara-cara oranges, tangy vanilla crème fraîche on strawberry shortcake! Refreshingly crisp and dry, mouth-watering actually. Great with almost any food, from sushi to salmon to BBQ!
