Alasia Piemonte Cortese DOC

In a Nutshell

A fresh, crisp white from the grape responsible for Gavi.

Tasting Notes

Fresh, green fruit on the nose - apple dominates with a note of grapefruit. The palate is very fresh and crisp with crunchy green apple flavours and a note of zesty lime mingling with a mineral note to the finish. The perfect white for a mid-summer's day.
