The bottle was a gift from Lorenzo Marinello (ONAV Alessandria), kept carefully and finally opened and poured right away. Gavi 2001 Special Selection, 1L, had no stale note at all. It showed mature freshness, with almond and cooked fruit. We paired it with sardines and lentils, a medley of steamed vegetables, turmeric, and mountain toma (Chiomonte-Frais). For the adventurous, tongue with green sauce.
