Gavi comes from a small growing area in northwestern Italy located north of Genoa on the steep slopes of the Ligurian Apennines. Made from the Cortese di Gavi grape, straw yellow with delicate aromas of green and citrus fruits. On the palate apple, grapefruit and tropical fruits, some nutty notes, rich with flavor, nice mouthfeel. Crisp finish, lingering, ending with a flinty mineral character. Enjoy with a nice Bronzino!

Very enjoyable Gavi, strongly flavored tropical blend with a slightly grassy flavor. Very enjoyable on a sunny day outside with Alpine cheese. Much better than any other Gavi.

Half bottle. Yellow straw color. Crisp and bright. Very refreshing. Pineapple, lime, and some floral tones in both smell and taste. Medium finish. Not really my style, but was exactly what I was looking for prior to dinner!
