Gonzalez Byass
The history of Cantina Goretti spans over four generations of the same family who passed the business down from father to son since its founding in the early 1900s. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st Cantina Goretti has maintained its reputation for quality passion and pride. Today the fourth generation of the Goretti family – represented by Sara and Giulia - is committed to the pursuit of quality cutting-edge research and wine-making techniques while also engaging in spreading the Umbrian culture and tradition around the world.
Description
Due to its time in contact with oxygen Alfonso shows a golden amber colour. On the nose round intense aromas with the nuttiness of the Palomino variety standing out, in this case hazelnuts and walnuts. As a result of the time spent in cask Alfonso shows subtle aromas of oak and spiced notes which remind of truffle or leather. On the palate flavourful and structured with a long and complex aftertaste and slight vanilla touches with a surprising sweet note on the finish.
Food Pairing
Alfonso should be served slightly chilled between 10 and 12ºC in a small white wine glass. Perfect with rich meat stews, cured meats and beef/goose consommé. The dryness of this wine makes it perfect for gelatinous meats such as oxtail and pork cheeks.
