Tasting Notes

Intense color, pale straw yellow. Naturally limpid due to static decantation. Intense nose, long, continuous, persistent, a warm and soothing sensation in a soft and elegant complex. Hints of honey/hazelnut, toasted almond. Very typical taste, slight mineral hints fading into flint. Excellent throughout the meal, for after dinner and for 'meditation.' Enhanced when paired with flavourful cheeses, meat pâtés, oysters and shellfish.

To better appreciate the peculiarities of this wine, it's best to open the bottle some time before tasting; brief aeration will allow the wine to fully express all its complex aromas and flavours. Large goblets recommended.

About the Wine

Made from a selection of the best cuvées, initially intended for the production of our Gavi dei Gavi® black label and only in great vintages. After ageing for up to ten years, solely in steel tanks and on native lees, this wine arrives in the bottle with that unmistakable intensity and nobility of sensations that only time gives to great wines.

A rare and unique wine, to be savoured while meditating on the extraordinary taste sensations that bring to mind, as in Proust's 'Recherche,' the taste of distant memories: the bouquet is surprising, evoking the sea breeze, the minerality of the soil, but also exotic fruits and honey. Only the experience of over a century of production can provide this harmony, where power and finesse come together in splendid balance, bringing us back to nature and the D'Antan® sensations.
