Tenuta San Pietro Gavi 2020
Gavi, Piedmont, ItalyTenuta San Pietro lies in the town of Tassarolo, along Piedmont's hilly southern stretches and just a short distance from the Ligurian coast. Their 35 hectares, mostly cortese, are planted on limestone clays, at altitude, certified organic and farmed biodynamically. This was native fermented in stainless, over 3 weeks, where it remained until the following spring, on lees. Quite fragrant, with almond blossom, tangerine, sprightly lemongrass, lime peel on a slender, cold cream palate, finishing with a saline wash. Very much in youth, enjoy this now with Thai green curry or simple vegetarian spring soups.Tasted: 29 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $24.95 | 750ml | consignment |
