White
Disneuf
By De Alessi (Tenuta San Sebastiano), Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A Sauvignon Blanc from 0.4 ha planted in 2013, 18 months on the lees in small concrete tanks. The name and the hand-drawn flower on the label change every year; the name comes from the vintage written in the Lu dialect.
Tasting notes
Clear, brilliant gold. Intense, rich bouquet dominated by elderflower and mulberry notes, enriched by tertiary aromas. Good acidity not at odds with the sourness, long contact with the lees. Dense and full-bodied.
Pairs well with
Suits any Mediterranean cuisine: meat, fish or vegetarian.
