Tenuta La Marchesa
Saula Gavi Cortese
Gavi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
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.
