## Summary

A Gavi DOCG made from Cortese, soft-pressed and fermented in steel for 10 to 12 days at 18°C, with a straw yellow color and floral, white-fruit aromas.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow with light green tinges. A fine expression of the Cortese grape, original and elegant, with clean, inviting aromas of white-fleshed fruit and wisteria. On the palate a decisive, fresh, savory flavor that fades into a pleasant, lively floral finish.

## Food pairings

Often drunk with appetizers, white and red meats, and fish and shellfish dishes.
