Recently Tasted: FONTANAFREDDA GAVI DEL COMUNE DI GAVI 2009

FONTANAFREDDA GAVI DEL COMUNE DI GAVI 2009, DOCG Gavi (Piedmont, Italy); #75440; Price: $15.95; 12.5% ABV
100% Cortese.  Light yellow.  Weak aromas of lemon, white flowers, and wet stones.  It offers lemon, minerality, and some nuttiness for flavours.  Lacks just enough acidity, so make sure you serve this chilled or it's a bit light and flabby.  The lemon and nutty flavours come through to a pleasantly bitter finish.  Another Italian that's better with food...which is how they make 'em.
