Gavi Cortese
Gavi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
Rosa Dell’Olmo – Gavi DOCG 2024
Cortese – Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
This 100% Cortese from Gavi captures everything that makes the appellation so loved: purity, freshness, and elegance. From lime-rich soils and cooler Piedmontese microclimates, it shows the verve and minerality that define Gavi. Bonus: it’s vegan-friendly, crafted with a clean, modern approach.
Aromas & Flavors
Delicate white flowers, ripe pear, and golden apple, with hints of citrus zest. The palate is dry, lively, and balanced, carrying a graceful minerality and refreshing zing.
Mouthfeel
Crisp and precise, with medium body and a long, clean finish. Youthful energy dominates, yet there’s a subtle structure hinting at short-term cellaring potential.
Food Pairing
Perfect for seafood salads, crudo, fish carpaccio, and simple vegetable pastas. Just as charming on its own as an aperitif.
Verdict
A charming, true-to-form Gavi that balances elegance with vibrancy. Enjoy now for its freshness, or cellar briefly to let Cortese’s nuance unfold.
Personal Pick Highlight
As an educator and frequent class host, I always find Gavi a crowd-pleasing Italian white that wins over both casual drinkers and seasoned tasters. This one will be a repeat mention in my classes for sure. Cheers!
