Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio 2014

Heather Wall rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A fresh and light bodied white Italian wine that's made for simple everyday drinking. Pale lemon-green colour with aromas and flavours citrus, tree fruit, zest, saline and white blossoms. The acidity is racy and refreshing. Perfect well chilled on a hot day. I detected a slight effervescence that made this wine doubly refreshing. Perfect as an aperitif or with deep fried prawns, assorted fish, or even KD!. Easy drinking and easy on the wallet at $15. LCBO General list.
Tasted: October 2015

Ruffino's Lumina Pinot Grigio is a crowd pleasing fresh and fruity unoaked wine that's perfectly suited for enjoying on a patio in the sun, or throughout the year with lighter fare such as appetizers, salads, and fish. From northeastern Italy, where Pinot Grigio thrives, Lumina's light and crisp style is sure to please. The nose shows sweet orchard fruit, citrus and minerality. The palate is refreshing with sweet pear and honeysuckle leaving a crisp and clean fruity finish. Good value at less than $14 via LCBO. Tasted October 2015. 87+ points.

The grapes for this wine are harvested in the regions of Fruili and Veneto. The aromas brimming out of the glass are subtle honey, pear, and citrus..….the palate boasts minerality and additional flavors of green apple and citrus. A medium bodied, juicy acidity, fresh and exciting Pinot Grigio! - Drink now, at a "wow" value!

Light straw colour. A subtle nose with pear, apple and minerality playing the dominant role. On the tongue the acidity is crisp and energetic with a slight citrus note added to the apple and pears detected in the wine's aroma. A medium finish and very much a wine that can be enjoyed any time but preferably on a mid-summer's eve on a patio with good friends. Some asparagus wrapped in Phyllo and drizzled with EVOO would be a fun and light way to get the most from this ever-popular 100% Pinot Grigio wine. Even a small bowl of nuts and olives would be a perfect match.

Fact #1: Pinot Grigios are the top selling white wines in every market. Congrats!
Fact #2: This style of wine is perhaps the style I enjoy the least. Yikes! That being said, I am open minded and I like to give things a try more than a few times because I have hope.

Now, why does this guy stand out? The aromas are enticing - fresh stone fruit, citrus and floral notes. On the palate, the key flavours are lemon/lime and peach. It is quite crisp, medium bodied with an oily texture and medium long refreshing lemon zest finish. Pair with a party!

Tania Thomas rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Vinified with 100% pinot grigio grapes harvested in the vineyards of Veneto and Friuli in Italy’s northeast. Elegant & complex with crisp acidity and aromas and flavours of ripe apples and lemon zest. Subtle floral notes of Alpine meadows makes it a perfect match with fragrant Alpine chesses of the region. Finish is clean and lingering.

Terry Jeans rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A mouthwatering and lively wine that is sure to be crowd pleaser. Not overly complex, but still a refreshing lemon/lime, and mineral aromas and flavors. There is a reason this a popular varietal, it is very drinkable and pairs with salads and lighter protein dishes- chicken salad or a white fish with a cream sauce. For this price, it is hard to pass up!

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A refreshing and aromatic Pinot Grigio with notes of white tree fruit and subtle minerality. Herbal sage, mint, citrus and pear show on the refined palate, in a dry, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Lovely as an Aperitif or with appetizers. Exceptional value.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Bright acidity gets the mouth watering and ready to start a meal. Lemon, green apple and apple blossom. Slight spritz on the palate, citrus and a hint of green parsley. Wonderfully paired with a salad of asparagus, bitter chicory contrasted with creamy duck egg yolk and earthy truffle. Enhancing the flavour, not overpowering it.
