White
Sivoy
By Massimo Pastura - Cascina La Ghersa, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
A blend of Cortese, Chardonnay and Sauvignon; the Chardonnay and Sauvignon vineyards were planted in 1993 with clones from Chablis and Sancerre. First vintage 1997. One of the estate's classic wines.
Tasting notes
Intense, brilliant straw yellow. Broad, enveloping nose with mineral and chamomile notes beside peach, exotic fruit and a delicate smoky touch. Good body, balanced by good acidity that supports the structure. Elegant, complex finish of good length and intensity.
Pairs well with
Starters and fish dishes, fried food and shellfish (better grilled or roasted), white meats; medium-textured cheeses, fresh or medium-aged.
