Aromas of white stone fruit and honeysuckle lead the way in this savory white. It's crisp and tangy, with a saline note accenting flavors of green apple and honeydew before closing on an almond note. Kerin O’Keefe rating 90
Bricco dei Guazzi 2018 Gavi Wine Review Online 92 Points
“This is a vibrant and fresh white wine whose edgy fruitiness is laced with bracing acidity as well as suggestions of chalky minerality. Light floral notes in the aroma tease the senses at the beginning and a long finish wraps up the tasting experience nicely. M.T.”
Made with 100% estate-owned Cortese grapes, this Gavi is a wine that reflects its terroir with a crisp, flinty and fresh acidity, coming from the mineral-rich soils of the area. Pale yellow in color, this Gavi offers intense floral notes on the nose with hints of melon and citrus. It is a well-balanced wine, distinctly fruit driven with underlying hints of almonds on the finish.
Gavi is considered Piedmont’s white jewel in the crown and Italy’s first white wine to gain international repute.
