Cortese di Gavi, pale lemon with medium aromas of citrus fruits. On the palate grapefruit and tropical fruits, rich with flavor, nice mouthfeel. Stainless steel aging give wine crisp medium finish ending with a mineral character. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample!

2011, from magnum. Peach fuzz, Macadamia nuts, white balsamico, blossoming flowers and lanolin. Easily another five years of life left in this one. Probably the first Gavi I’ve ever liked; easily the finest one I’ve ever tasted. #gavi #cortese #ottosoldi

great acidity and minerality, bright stone fruit and lemon peel. Perfect for a summer night

100% Cortese grape. Light golden color. Aromas and flavors of pear, green apple with hints of white flowers, lemon and pineapple. Mouth watering acidity. Nicely layered and textured. Bright and expressive. Crowd pleaser and great with food. Excellent QPR!

Solid Gavi! Minerality balancing melon and green fruit. Great Chardonnay alternative

Straw colored & very focused nose of minerals & yellow citrus. Very linear & full of bright acidity. These wines are fantastic & sometimes get lost in the shuffle. I always get almonds & white flowers...
