Gavi wine

Crafted from the indigenous Cortese grape variety, Gavi is a famous Italian white wine that boasts a refreshing and crisp character.  

Cortese requires specific conditions to thrive … and this is why you’ll rarely find plantings outside of the Gavi appellation area in Piedmont in north-west Italy.  

"Gavi di Gavi" refers to wine produced in the town of Gavi itself, which is part of a larger appellation of 11 towns that all produce Gavi wine under strict regulations.

Gavi wines are bone dry and aromatic, with refreshing and crisp acidity. They often have a pale green straw hue and display delicate floral aromas which are complemented by lemony citrus, apple, pear and honeydew flavours.  

These wines rarely see any oak … so they’re usually enjoyed young, fresh and chilled.

Gavi is a dry white wine with high acidity … and this means it’s incredibly food friendly.  It pairs exceptionally well with light dishes like olives, salad, grilled vegetables and soups. 

Gavi wines also pair well with mushroom risotto, paella, pasta dishes, fish and seafood. But you’ll also see Gavi wines served with various types of cheese – they go especially well with Italian cheeses.
