Wine Tasting: 2010 Fortediga Vermentino

Name: Fortediga
Variety: Vermintino
Region: Maremma, Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $20 on closeout for $9.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: Clear yellow in color. The aromas are lifted with pleasant hints of pear and green apple. The fresh, smooth flavors on the entry persist, the structure is fine and balances well with the fruit.

My review: This was my second wine at the Vintage Cellar. It was a very pretty, clear, yellow color. On the nose, all I could pick out was an apple smell. On the taste, it was smooth and slightly bitter. With three separate sips, I struggled to put into words exactly what I was tasting. I did not consume any food with this wine.
