Tasting - Terre di Poggio Laude Pecorino

Name: Terre di Poggio Laude Pecorino
Variety: Pinot noir
Region: Terre di Chieti
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
Shop Review: "Bright and savory, this floral scented Pecorino offers juicy tropical fruit and lemon drop sensations accented by notes of mint and thyme. THe ripe fruit is balanced by risk acidity that leaves the palate feeling cleansed and refreshed."
My Review: This wine was surprisingly quite greenish in color, almost like a really pale emerald, because it sparkled in the glass. It had a tart but also spicy kind of smell, with the tartness initially on the nose and the spice coming later. Its taste started out sweet, but it had an overall bland mouthfeel with gasoline-ish flavors. Slight zesty notes made it somewhat refreshing, and it had a dry finish. Was not paired with any food.
