Crisp and bright with wonderful acidity. Big fan of the crisp, sour apple balanced with sweet vanilla. Wonderful with our Lobster Ravioli 🤍

Pale to medium straw color. Crystal clear. Not an expressive nose at all. All I get is some white flower, lemon/lime, sulfur?, saline and a trace of lees. Medium plus acidity, clean finish with some bitterness. Very simple, easy and clean wine. 12.5% abv. 375ml

Slake yourself with this gorgeous bottle of lemon drops and ripe citrus with underlying spring blossoms and slate. Medium bodied, soft and delicious.

Tonights wine is the 2019 Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi.

On the nose the notes are one of lemon, green apple, pear, banana, herbs and minerals.

On the palate I am getting lemon, green apple, saline, chalky minerality and a flinty note.

This wine is medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, medium + acidity and a long fresh crisp citrus mineral finish. Have a great week ajd please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂
