If you're in search of a white wine that offers crisp acidity, refreshing citrus flavors, and a touch of floral elegance, our Gavi collection is the perfect choice. Known for its light, fresh character, Gavi is a classic Italian white that is perfect for any occasion.
Gavi is made from the Cortese grape variety and originates from the Gavi DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) region in the Piedmont area of northwestern Italy. This region is renowned for producing high-quality white wines that are crisp, mineral-driven, and full of finesse. Gavi wines are known for their refreshing acidity, delicate citrus notes, and a hint of floral and almond undertones, making them incredibly versatile and easy to drink.
The flavor profile of Gavi wines is defined by bright citrus fruits, such as lemon, lime, and green apple, complemented by subtle floral notes of white flowers and a touch of almond. Gavi is typically light to medium-bodied, with a clean, crisp finish that makes it especially refreshing on warm days. The wine's characteristic minerality adds depth and complexity, making it an ideal wine for both casual sipping and pairing with food.
While Gavi is often crafted as a single-varietal wine, it can also be blended with other local varieties to create wines that are more complex and structured. Gavi’s combination of bright fruit, acidity, and mineral notes makes it a versatile wine for a wide range of food pairings.
Key characteristics of Gavi wines include:
- Color: Pale yellow with greenish reflections.
- Flavor: Bright citrus notes of lemon, lime, and green apple, with hints of white flowers and almond.
- Body: Light to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel.
