Tuesday Quick Sip – 2006 Bersano Gavi
2006 Bersano Gavi
Wine Information –
Region: Piedmont, Italy
DOCG: Gavi
Grape: Cortese
Price: $10 – $15
My Tasting Notes –
Nose: apple, wet hay, honeycomb
Taste: apple, honeydew, mineral/slate
Mouthfeel: full body, not overly acidic
Finish: lots of apple and minerality, slightly tart
Although tart at the finish, not as crisp as I was expecting across the palate. An enjoyable sip but too much apple on the nose and palate and not a whole lot of the other flavor components mentioned, but the mineral and slate notes were nice towards the finish. This could have been an off bottle but there are better Gavi examples out there.
Cheers!
