Sweet
Gloria
By Raffaele Gili, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
A sweet white (Vino Bianco, Gloria Nettare) made from overripe grapes harvested late in November, with a savoury, mineral edge from clay-rich marl soils.
Tasting notes
Pleasantly sweet, fresh and savoury, with a fruity and floral bouquet where acacia honey stands out, finishing without excess sweetness.
Pairs well with
Savoury cheeses, fruit tarts, ice cream and the Castellinaldo peaches.
