White flowers

White

Outstanding Italian white wine, Pio Cesare Cortese d' Gavi is a native Italian varietal, cortese, produced from limited yields harvested on the hilly vineyards of Gavi. Gavi's terroir produces white wines that are bone dry, but are packed with fresh acidity and bursting with fruit. The grapes are soft pressed and the winery uses temperature controlled fermentation to control the resulting fruitiness of the wine.

The finished product is a fresh, fruity wine, dry but very nicely balanced. I smell and taste white flowers, green apples, fresh lime and honeydew. But try it for yourself!

I picked mine up at Kings on Berry St. for the bargain price of $13.99.
