A low-priced take on an indigenous Piedmont grape called Cortese, the Coppo 2020 Gavi Tenuta la Rocca shows a citrusy note on first inspection that softens slowly to include some bitter almond, pear and minty apple. This is a fresh and zippy white wine (closed in a screw-capped bottle) to enjoy with an easy salad lunch on a patio or sunny terrace. Pretty mineral notes add brightness to the lean finish.

This white is made distinctive by apricot and passion fruit flavors, while lemony acidity cuts through. Ends with a touch of earthiness. Drink now. 2,200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Gavi Select to Add
