“Restrained wine with struck-match, white pepper and flint aromas. Citrusy, as well. Light-bodied with good weight, a crunchy palate, crisp acidity and a tight finish. Drink now.”

Tasting note
This wine has a fresh style, with a pleasant minerality that comes from the unique terroir of the Gavi area. It has a straw yellow color with greenish highlights, the bouquet is delicate with hints of almond, notes of fruits, blossoms and freshly cut hay. The taste is fresh and mineral with a sapid finish.
At the tableIt pairs well with aperitifs, mixed green salads and garlic butter prawns. Ideal as a by-the-glass wine.

“Fruity aromas with apples, pears and apricots. Light- to medium-bodied with refreshing acidity. Fruit-driven with a light, easy finish. Drink now.”
