The Wine
Piemonte's answer to Sancerre! A crisp, mineral laden white with delicate cut grass and gooseberry notes and hints of pear on the finish. Elegant, classy, great! What more can we say about this wine other than its very affordable in comparison to other Northern Italian Sauvignons at the same quality level.
