Gavi di Gavi
By Marco Bonfante, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Gavi of the Comune di Gavi from Cortese on sandstone soils, made in steel.
Tasting notes
Clear straw yellow. Fine, fresh bouquet of citrus, white flowers and fruit. Delicate and dry with good balance of acidity and minerality, good structure and persistence, and a fine bitter almond aftertaste.
Pairs well with
Aperitif and fresh starters; seafood spaghetti, sea bass and sea bream in salt crust.
