Just fine, enough to it with pleasant blend of lemon, citrus, light stone fruit, hints of melon, balanced. Not finding any issue with acidity others mention, though I am inclined to enjoy a bit of edge there.

Pale yellow straw in the glass. On the nose notes of white flowers are dominant with a hint of melon fruit. On the pallet, it is rich in concentrated grape also with notes of grapefruit and white rose petals. The acidity begins to dominate the finish which is moderate in length. I would say without food there isn't a great appeal to this wine it is high in acid and lacks a great body to balance it.

Impulse Purchase @ Costco 12.5% abv - $15 Varietal: Cortese Barrel shaped bottle. As Flickwines notes, bottle is amber tinted.
Served @10c/50f with Baked Salmon.
Having tried 'Gavi di Gavi' at my favorite Italian Restaurant, I was happy to find it at Costco.
Pale Yellow in the glass. Citrus and Lemon Blossoms on the nose. Initial taste seems deceptively bland on the palate, but fragrance and flavors become more prominent as the temperature warms to 55-60f. Tart acidity and nuances of pear, peach, and green apple come through in mid-palate, along with some salinity, finally ending in a nice tart, lingering finish.

Nice, a bit funky, some saline savoriness alongside citrus
