Gavi
is a commune in the larger DOCG wine region of Cortese di Gavi, within the
great wine region of Piedmont; hence Cortese di Gavi wine made from within the
commune of Gavi is confusingly referred to as Gavi di Gavi. In any case, all
DOCG Cortese di Gavi wine is made from the white Cortese grape.
Pale,
zesty, citric (more lime than lemon) with no suggestion (as I was expecting) of
bitter almonds, but a finish that keeps reminding me of pecorino cheese. Lightly
rather than intensely fruity. Not complex, nor too acidic to drink without
food, but in no way flabby or of poor quality.
84/100
