## Tasting notes

Balance and easy drinking define this wine. Very fresh aromas, with intense and lingering notes of white fruit (pear), green apple, hay, a pronounced minerality and citrus tones (citron). A substantial palate with good length, where the refreshing acidity confirms this Gavi's timeless character. Serve at 10°C in tulip glasses.
