Il Poggio Gavi DOCG del Comune di Gavi Roverto

Its straw yellow colour releases scents of cut grass, white flowers, medlar and yellow citrus fruits. Creamy, citrusy and savoury on the palate, full of character and intense in its ability to convey tropical fruits and aromatic herbs. Very long finish with mineral persistence and hints of almond.
