100% Cortese. Pale lemon in color. Bright citrus aromas with magnolia, green apple, lemon-lime, wet stone, saline, and lime zest. Vibrant acidity brings out flavor of lime juice, lime zest, tart pez, and unripe pineapple. Lighter notes of gooseberry, and pear. The lees gaining softens the acid just a touch also adding subtle creaminess. Overall, this is a dry wine with high acid which lightens the body to medium-minus and lifts the flavor intensity to medium. The wine lingers with a sharp, flinty dryness and a touch of pleasant bitterness, making it mouthwatering and food friendly. Classic representation of Gavi d Gavi wine.
Food Pairing: Grilled white fish, shrimp scampi, oysters, sushi, lemon chicken, caprese salad, and vegetable risotto.
