The Rich History of Gavi Wine

Gavi Wine hails from the picturesque region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. This area, known for its rolling hills and scenic vineyards, has produced high-quality wines for centuries. The town of Gavi, from which the wine takes its name, has a storied history dating back to Roman times. Over the years, Gavi Wine has gained international acclaim and is celebrated for its unique characteristics and superior quality.

Main Grape Varietals

The star of Gavi Wine is the Cortese grape, a varietal known for its crisp and refreshing profile. Cortese thrives in the limestone-rich soils and temperate climate of the Piedmont region, which contribute to the wine’s distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity. This grape varietal is meticulously cultivated and handpicked to ensure that only the finest grapes are used in producing Gavi Wine.

Location and Terroir

The Gavi DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is located in the southeastern part of the Piedmont region, near the border with Liguria. The area benefits from a unique microclimate influenced by the nearby Ligurian Sea, which helps moderate temperatures and provides ideal conditions for grape growth. The combination of sun-drenched days and cool nights ensures the Cortese grapes develop a perfect balance of sugars and acidity.

Flavour Profile

Gavi Wine is renowned for its delicate and elegant flavour profile. On the nose, you’ll find enticing aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus, often accompanied by floral notes of white flowers and a hint of almond. On the palate, Gavi Wine is crisp and refreshing, with flavours of lemon and lime and a subtle minerality that lingers on the finish. Its light to medium body and bright acidity make it versatile for various occasions.

Perfect Pairings

Gavi Wine is a fantastic companion to many dishes, making it a popular choice for food pairings. Its crisp and clean profile beautifully complements seafood, particularly shellfish, shrimp, and grilled fish. It also pairs wonderfully with light pasta dishes, risotto, and vegetable-based meals. Gavi Wine is an excellent match for cheese lovers with soft, creamy cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Its versatility and refreshing nature make it a delightful choice for aperitifs and casual gatherings.
