Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG 2024 – Premium Cortese White Wine from Piedmont (75cl)

This Gavi is made exclusively from Cortese grapes, a native variety to Piedmont, known for producing elegant and fresh white wines. It shows a pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections and reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and subtle almond notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, marked by lemon zest, green apple, and a touch of minerality with a clean, dry finish.

The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without malolactic fermentation, which preserves its bright acidity and fresh fruit characters. This careful vinification ensures the wine retains its crispness and aromatic delicacy, emphasising citrus and floral notes alongside a subtle mineral edge that typifies quality Cortese wines from this region.

Thanks to its crisp acidity and delicate flavours, this wine pairs beautifully with a variety of seafood and shellfish, such as steamed mussels or delicate white fish like branzino. It also works well alongside light pasta dishes, risottos, fresh salads, and mild, soft cheeses, where its lemony freshness and mineral hints can shine without overpowering the food.

The DOCG status recognises Gavi as one of Italy’s top quality whites, reflecting centuries of winemaking tradition in Piedmont. Local producers have honed the style to express the unique qualities of the Cortese grape and the local terroir, resulting in wines that effortlessly balance freshness with elegance, perfectly suited to the regional cuisine and beyond.
