2023 Berry Bros. & Rudd Gavi di Gavi by Roberto Sarotto, Piedmont, Italy

The Gavi di Gavi area is the traditional centre of this region, celebrated for its exceptional white wines. Made from the Cortese grape, Gavi wines are generally light, with alcohol levels between 12 and 13%, and are known for their bright acidity and lively citrus flavours. Like this wine, they are typically unoaked, offering a refreshing alternative to a crisp Pinot Grigio. Created by the Sarotto family for us, this wine is an ideal match for seafood pasta or asparagus dishes.

Tasting Note

The 2023 vintage was ideal for Gavi. The Cortese grape benefitted from the warmth of the year while still retaining its characteristic elegance and freshness, aided by the area’s calcareous soils. The palate is beautifully expressive, with sweet, crisp apple, ripe pear and peach skin. This is underscored by bounding, zippy acidity and a refreshing chalky bite. This is a quintessential Northern Italian white.
