Score: 87Vintage 2019Wine AdvocateThe Broglia 2019 Gavi La Meirana shows ripe apricot and heavy citrus fruit. This estate also made a sparkling wine from the Cortese grape called La Meirana; however, this wine is still. The wine is thick and viscous with honeysuckle and cloying white rose. Just a little more freshness would go a long way here. These results are slightly flat and dense.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
