Gavi di Gavi San Silvestro.
Gavi di Gavi San Silvestro.
Gavi di Gavi San Silvestro 2010.
Gavi, Piemonte-Italy.
Grape Variety-Cortese.
12.5% ABV.
Clear and pale. Very distinctive nose of apples, pears and elderflower. On the palate, light and fresh. Some pepper, pear with good, mid range acidity and a decent length.
I’m not one for lighter style wines. It just doesn’t suit my palate but this wine blew me away. As far as writing a tasting note goes, it was easy. This is a beautiful wine. Soft, elegant. The level of fruit mixed with the acidity makes it a very easy wine to drink. Pull up a chair. Sit in the sun and pour yourself a glass. It’s stunning. Throw in some ice with a couple of slices of orange or lemon and picture yourself sitting on a beach in the Mediterranean.
Drink on its own or with light summer dishes, salads, pasta etc.
