Region: Piedmont, Italy

Grape Variety: 100% Cortese

Background: Gavi is considered Piedmont’s white jewel in the crown and Italy’s first white wine to gain international repute.

Tasting Notes: Pale yellow in colour of medium intensity. The nose is clear with floral scents in which melon and a light citrus note stand out. On the palate it is slender, very fresh and tasty, it measures well the typical acidity of the grape with a gentle, ready to drink profile.

Food Pairing: Excellent as an aperitif or paired with savoury canopes and light appetisers. It is also ideal with delicate fish based first courses or with "takarin al tartufo", a typical pasta dish dressed with truffles, butter and parmesan.
