Pale lemon, fresh aromas of white stone and citrus fruits with pronounced floral scents. On the palate ripe fruit flavors of apple and melon with slight citrus notes, vivid acidity on crisp medium finish. Nice value. Tasting Sample!

Saula Gavi White Label 2023
Gavi DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
Crafted from 100% Cortese, this wine hails from the heart of the Gavi DOCG, produced at Tenuta La Marchesa—one of the largest and most historic estates in the region. It’s a crisp, refreshing expression of Piedmont’s beloved white grape.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh and lively with green apple, lemon zest, and wildflowers on the nose. The palate continues with citrus, grapefruit, and white peach, underpinned by a subtle almond finish and a touch of wet stone minerality.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, clean, and dry, with bright acidity that keeps it vibrant and crisp. A wine that lingers just long enough to refresh without overwhelming.
Winemaking Notes
Produced in stainless steel to retain freshness, purity, and the varietal character of Cortese. Meant for early enjoyment rather than extended cellaring.
Food Pairing
Ideal with seafood, fresh salads, caprese, or as an aperitif. Its zippy acidity also makes it a great partner for fried dishes or lighter pastas.
Verdict
A classic Gavi—zesty, floral, and beautifully balanced. At this price point, it’s a must-have for casual sipping and everyday Italian charm.

Pale lemon, tart, lemon soda. Crisp, yet soft. Floral, dry, good balance.

This wine has notes of peach and flowers with a mineral driven core. Great little white.

Found a new favorite white grape. This was very crisp and refreshing. Slight green apple with little minerality, not to acidic but still makes me want more.
