White
I Ronchetti
By Marco Bonfante, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Gavi from a selection of the best grapes of the Sorì Ronchetti vineyard, aged longer on its yeasts.
Tasting notes
Clear straw yellow. Intense, varietal aromas of banana and citrus. Extremely dry and elegant, with intense minerality and the typical bitter almond aftertaste.
Pairs well with
Aperitif; raw fish, shellfish, delicate cheese and white meat; linguine with lobster.
