La Luciana Gavi Cortese

Bright, very delicate citrus, herbal and floral flavors, not a loud wine, but very pleasant.

Classic Italian crisp dry white in structure but with lovely citrus and elderflower notes. Winemaking in Gavi has evolved beyond recognition and is a much better expression of Cortese than was the case a generation ago.

S&C ✅ deliciously dry with warm notes of fruit. Very drinkable - very nice!

Delicious. Very much enjoyed. Not particularly strong flavored but well balanced and bright.

Liked this one. Dry, bright, goes nicely with seafood.

It's been a while since I've had a Gavi. Crisp yet soft, very dry minerality, lemon, and a hint of elderflower. Such a nice simple white for an aperitif, especially for this price. I tried pairing it with prosciutto and dried apricots, but it doesn’t carry enough weight (12.5% abv but feels lighter). Better with something starchy like crostini.

Nice dry Piedmontese white (Cortese) with mild minerality, at Fig’s on Beacon Hill in Boston

Floral, light minerals slight honey great with lemony salad or sauces
