Poggio alle Gazze Toscana IGT - Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia

The barrel-aged Poggio alle Gazze Toscana from the wine-growing region of Tuscany is a bright light yellow in the glass. If you give it a little air by swirling, you can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. This Italian cuvée presents wonderfully fragrant and complex notes of orange blossom, Gallia melon, rose and oranges in the glass. There are also hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate and gingerbread spice.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so, despite its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. The texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully dense on the palate. On the finish, this very storable white wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of star fruit and grapefruit.
