## Summary

Gi is an unclassified white blend of Chardonnay, Moscato Bianco and Viognier from Castiglione Tinella and Isola d'Asti.

## Tasting notes

Vivid, aromatic and exuberant when first released, developing real complexity over time: white fruit, citrus, sage and flint at first, moving toward mineral, honeyed and balsamic-herb notes with age. The structure is enveloping, carried by a line of acidity that gives brightness to the sip.

## Food pairings

Raw fish, pork, culatello, fresh cheeses and paella.
