LISTEN, LIVE
Wine tells a story of a land: as stolen sap of ripe berries and made must, it wrests its color from the skins, copies its structure from gnarled and curled shoots, kidnaps the light poured on the lobes of leaves, sublimates the waters and air in its scents. The Gambarogno is our land, our landscapes, places and people summed up in the words and grammar of a wine. Gambarogno is that wine.
TASTE
Plump and muffled, fresh, light and balanced, glycerine in texture and with good persistence in the mouth.
PERFUMES
When young: essence of spring flowers tending to white.
When ripe: of white fruit such as peaches.
