## Summary

Tempo al Tempo is a Gavi DOCG del Comune di Gavi library release from white, poor soil, aged in bottle to let long aging enhance Gavi's characteristics. The label depicts an 'umarell', a Bolognese-dialect term for old men who watch building sites and give advice to the builders.

## Tasting notes

The natural acidity of Cortese balances the exceptional structure of the palate with freshness, where intense notes of flint combine with white fruit in a very long finish.
