Descrizione

Gentil of Famille Hugel is an emblematic white wine from Alsace, a denomination renowned for its ability to best express the aromatic grape varieties of the region. Obtained from a balanced blend of typical Alsatian varieties such as Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Sylvaner, this cru represents the art of family winemaking that for generations has interpreted the unique terroir of this fertile land at the foot of the Vosges.

Gentil presents a fresh and fragrant aromatic profile, where floral notes intertwine with fruity sensations of green apple, white-fleshed fruit, and a slight spicy hint. On the palate, the drink shows a pleasant acidity, which gives vigor and finesse, accompanied by a juicy and well-balanced texture, capable of enhancing the characteristic minerality of the Alsatian soil.

Perfect to accompany dishes based on fish, shellfish, and fresh cheeses, Gentil of Famille Hugel is an ideal companion for those who wish to discover the complexity and versatility of Alsatian wines with a touch of elegance and freshness. The Magnum bottle further enhances the quality of the product, making it suitable for moments of conviviality and extended tastings.
