Galarej Gavi 2008 DOCG

This white from Serralunga, in the Piedmont region of Italy is a Gavi made with Cortese grapes.

Straw colored with pleasant aromas of melon, Italian pastries and honey followed by flavors reminding me of powdered sugar sprinkled onto a honeydew melon. The and high acidity and dry, but fruity style make this a perfect drink for an August afternoon.
