White
Fontanassa
By Fontanassa, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's original Gavi del Comune di Gavi from Rovereto, in the range since the first bottles of 1988. Cortese aged in stainless steel.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with green reflections. Notes of freshly cut grass, grapefruit, white melon, pear and almond, with hints of sage. Broad and complex even when young, thanks to fully ripe grapes and the lactic acid from malolactic fermentation.
