Gavi

In the picturesque hills of Piedmont, Italy, lies the enchanting region of Gavi, famed for producing exquisite white wines made from the Cortese grape. The DOCG of Gavi comprises 11 municipalities in the province of Alessandria. One of these municipalities is Gavi itself. The wines of vineyards with the borders of this commune are entitled to be called Gavi di Gavi, or as it is now known, Gavi del Comune di Gavi.

Gavi wine captivates with its bright acidity, delicate floral aromas, and green apple and citrus notes. Awarded the esteemed Gavi DOCG status, these wines are a testament to the region's centuries-old viticultural excellence.

The terroir of Gavi, characterised by its calcareous and clay-rich soils, imparts a unique minerality to the wines, enhancing their complexity and finesse. Historically, Gavi wines have been revered since the 17th century, with the town becoming a symbol of premium Italian white wines. Today, Gavi wine producers skillfully blend time-honoured traditions with innovative techniques, ensuring each bottle reflects the purity and elegance of the region.
