Bric Sassi
By Roberto Sarotto, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Named for the Bric Sassi vineyard, one of the most distinctive sites in Gavi.
Tasting notes
Elegant and mineral, with an uncommon finesse and complexity for a white of great structure and longevity.
Pairs well with
Seafood appetisers such as carpaccio and scallops au gratin, first courses such as linguine with lobster, and delicate mains such as baked sea bass or crusted salmon
