  WSET Diploma Unit 3 - Italy (SF): Pale lemon color
  
  Medium minus intensity nose
  - mostly neutral
  - ripe green apple, Meyer lemon
  - fresh honey
  - estery pear notes (youthful fermentation aromas)
  - faint impression of creamy lees
  
  Dry, m-body, m alcohol - 12.5% (actually 12%), m+ acid, light phenolic bitterness.
  Impression of wet-stones on the palate.
  Medium minus fruit intensity
  Medium finish - persistent but not evolving.
  
  This is a very good quality Gavi DOCG. It shows modest fruit with stony/mineral character on the palate, and the acidity is lively and fresh. However the aromatic intensity and flavor integration are not at the level of the best examples.
  
  Blind, I'd have a hard time telling this from a standard Pinot Grigio
