This is a great vintage of the white Tuscan Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia from this famous house. This white Ornellaia is a blend of about 70% Sauvignon Blanc with Viognier and Vermentino in supporting roles. In the glass, the wine has a straw yellow color with a hint of green. The wine is nicely spicy, tonic and fresh. The Sauvignon Blanc gives an open scent of gooseberries and ripe melon in the nose. The effect is very impressive on the palate, where the wine revives and refreshes. There is a lot of complexity - with passion fruit, garden vegetables, spring flowers and sweet almonds. This top white wine goes excellent with, for example, raw or fried fish, turbot or red mullet, but also with shellfish and crustaceans.
