Cossetti Gavi del Commune di Gavi DOCG 2016, Piedmont, Italy

Our View:

Gavi comes from the ancient, indigenous Cortese variety and takes its name from the capital of the small production area in part of the province of Alessandria, close to the borders of Liguria. The title “Gavi del comune di Gavi” is another qualification for this fine international white, indicating the origin of grapes from Gavi. 

Enjoyable on it’s own or with dishes based on fish and seafood.

The Wine:

Cossetti have been producing quality wines since 1891. The business is now run by three sisters, the 4th generation of the family to be in control and who received their winemaking passion from their father, who made wines in Piedmont all his life. For the production of this wine, the grapes are collected in containers, soft pressed and fermented in temperature controlled steel vats at 15-17° until sugars are consumed. Malolactic fermentation as necessary.

Tasting Note:

Straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. Fresh, persistent aroma with hints of floral and fresh fruit. Pleasantly dry, crisp and harmonious.
