Website www.vigneregali.comOverview The fairytale love story on the back
of the bottle, which begins “Once
upon a time…there lived a young
princess named Gavia,” is too
saccharine to be believed. Do they
really think this is what female
drinkers want? We won’t spoil the
ending, but it’s worth buying the
bottle not to get the rest of the story,
but for what’s inside, which is
considerably more exciting, with
delicious fruit and bright acid.
Nose Clean aromas of apple, pear,
and citrus dominate.
Mouth Our blind tasters loved the
acidity, which lifts the wine above
the horde of mediocre Italian whites.
