So you may be wondering, where are the WHITE wines?! I know, it’s time, right? ... especially with this spring/summer-like weather we’ve been experiencing!
So you may be wondering, where are the WHITE wines?! I know, it’s time, right? ... especially with this spring/summer-like weather we’ve been experiencing!
Here we have a lovely white
for such an occasion. Light straw gold
in color, expressing a briny, saline quality on the nose, sipping this wine makes
you feel like you’re sitting next to the ocean!
On the palate a touch of lemon meringue and citrus along with light
mineral notes. It is clean and smooth
with an elegant, harmonious finish. For food pairings think shellfish, fresh oysters on the half shell (unadorned), seafood, Caprese salad or a semi soft/creamy cheese like taleggi. Have a picnic!
This wine is made from 100%
Cortese, a grape found in Gavi, a DOCG area located in the Italian province of Asti,
Piedmont near the Ligurian Coast
and Italian Riviera. Lovely! So this
is why one feels as if sitting near the sea. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel. $13.49 at the Munjoy Rosemont!
