Zesty fruit – lemon, lime and grapefruit – and almond hints
Gavi's whites are the talk of the town right now. Critics praise them for "tasting better than ever" (The Telegraph), putting them in the same category as premium Chablis. Refined, family made La Trombetta shows you why. It’s made from Cortese – a local grape that thrives in the chalky soils and cool, maritime climate of the Lancellotta estate in premium Piedmont. This wine takes its name from a small plot shaped like a trumpet (La Trombetta). The vines are 35 years old and produce small quantities of concentrated grapes. The wine has a perfect harmony of citrus fruit, mineral notes and freshness. Classic Gavi, it excels alongside grilled sole or herby pasta dishes such as tajarin (Piemontese tagliatelle) or ravioli with sage butter.
