La Mesma Etichetta Gialla

This was the estate's very first label and still carries its idea of Gavi. Grapes come from the calcareous, poor and draining Marne Serravalliane soils on the slopes of Mount Mesma.

Tasting notes

Etichetta Gialla is a symphony of flowers and fruits on a mineral background that flows into a sip of rare elegance.
