White
Meera
By Roberto Sarotto, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Meera, Sanskrit for sea, evokes the ancient seabed the vineyards once lay under; the estate's most complex Gavi.
Tasting notes
Elegant hints of white and yellow flowers, sweet nuances of honey and ripe yellow fruit; the typical verticality of Gavi di Gavi balanced by a soft, mineral roundness.
Pairs well with
Amberjack tartare, seared scallops, shrimp and citrus risotto, delicate white meats and vegetarian dishes with squash blossoms or Jerusalem artichoke cream
