White
Dives
By G. B. Burlotto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Sauvignon Blanc from the oldest parcels (planted 1986), fermented and aged on lees in acacia wood.
Tasting notes
A beautiful white, complex and substantial, but restorative and approachable. Not afraid of time; on the contrary, it makes time an ally to reveal ever new aspects and accents of itself, without ever abdicating its ideal of harmony and bearing.
