Ghiaia di Monte tasted by Spectator Wine Club
2010 July
An exceptional review for Ghiaia di Monte by the Spectator Wine Club. "An exceptionally fine Sauvignon/Riesling blend. It is the best white wine we have tried from Italy for a long time. It has exceptionally fine aromatics; Sauvignon prevails - but it is so fine - it’s not like a punchy NZ or South African Sauvignon, this is all together a different kind of drink. It’s very sophisticated, with a fine mineral spine that keeps it so fresh. The other ingredient is Riesling which is perhaps the back bone on which the Sauvignon is able to lie, which adds a delicious dimension, but you would never guess the grape. The beautiful and very delicate oak adds complexity, but you would not know it was there................." Another great success for Ca' Boffenisio wines in UK!
