La Giustiniana – Gavi di Gavi 75cl (Lugarara)

Dom Pérignon 2008 is superlative, luminous and glorious. Its original generosity – ample and tactile – is enhanced by a clear structure that gives it freshness and precision. ON THE NOSE The immediate impression is of the mildness of the pure, airy, bright bouquet. A floral, fruity pastel tone then unfolds and quickly darkens into candied fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, along with hints of licorice. ON THE PALATE The wine’s opulence – contained and succulent, round at heart – reveals itself on the palate. The envelope slides and stretches, and the wine becomes more complex and edgy, silkier than it is creamy. The whole eventually melts into an exquisite bitterness tinged with the briny taste of the sea. FOOD PAIRING Sicilian olive oil embraces the incomparable sensual note of Dom Pérignon. When the wine makes contact with this low acidity, brilliance, and unctuous substance, it reveals Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006’s silky curves, seamless voluptuousness and creaminess, brightened by vegetal notes
