CRITIC'S NOTES
Come and dive in the Mediterranean ocean on a warm day!This wine is all you can expect from a perfect and relaxing day in the French riviera. Friendly, fun, full of flavor and refreshing.The bright acidity is very well balanced with the sweet flavors of the red cherries, plums and juicy apples, a hint of white roses and quince to complete this delicious wine.Even so, it is a light wine perfect for chilling in the balcony or at the pool. I was very surprised by the length in the palate, very food friendly can pair with varied dishes. Try salads, grilled fish, sushi, chicken or pizza! All pairs are perfect with this rose.Then take a bottle and just enjoy!
OUR SOMELIER REVIEW
Gavi is the most interesting expression of the Cortese grape in Piemonte and the trend towards indigenous varieties work well for those wines.The wine has a yellow straw color, intense aromas of citrus fruit, pear, white flowers, almonds, brioche and wet stones and a tangy citrus finish. The age in the bottle fades a little the fresh aromas of fruit but gives interesting tertiary aromas. It’s a cool wine and offers good value.I recommend drinking with antipasti, fish or salads. Cod with almond lemon risotto could be a delicious pairing. Welcome to Italy!
