Tasting - Prime Brume Garganega

Name: Prime Brume Garganega
Region/Country: Soave, Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $11-- Sale $6.95

Winery Review: Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, ad papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes. 91 points: Tastings.com. 

My Review: This white wine is very light in color and there is not much on the nose besides a hint of pineapple. It is fairly dry and very much water down. There was also a hint of pineapple in the taste, but it was also chalky. With the high score it holds, I was expecting a little more aroma and flavor. I would give this wine an 85. I tried it on its own with no food.
