Tasting- Tonnino Pinot Grigio

Name: Tonnino Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $14.00
Review: Tonnino’s exotic example of Pinot Grigio has a straw to pale gold color. It is fresh and clean on the nose with fruity notes of pear, green apple and white peaches. The palate is true to the nose with a fresh acidity, coriander and lime notes followed by a crisp finish. This wine pairs well with youthful aperitifs, clams or mussels, pastas and risotto dishes.
My Review: I thought this wine smelled very alcoholic with a very slight smell of fruit. When I swallowed the wine it gave me a burning feeling in my chest like heartburn. The wine was very dry and bitter and I did not enjoy it at all. 
I did not have any food with this wine.
