Made from the Cortese grape variety, grown in vineyards with a cool mesoclimate; these are generally north facing and up to about 350 metres above sea level. The wine gets its name from the town of Gavi, situated in the south-east of Piemonte, around which the vineyards are planted. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on its fine lees. It shows white flower and green fruit aromas, with a touch of honey and minerality on the palate.
Yellow straw in colour with sparkles of brilliant green. The nose displays fresh, clean citrus aroma and a beautiful floral intensity. The palate is dry with crunchy green apple fruit and a refreshing acidity.
This appellation from southern Burgundy is located in the Mâconnais region around the villages of Fuissé, Solutré, Pouilly, Vergisson and Chaintré. The vines are planted on hillsides - sometimes very steep. The varying exposures result in a harvest period that lasts more than two weeks.
This wine has a lively and aromatic nose with white fruit and spices with a subtle touch of oak and vanilla
The wines of this vineyard area are world-renown and this is a wine that may well be the perfect introduction to the joys of fine white Burgundy. Thirty five percent of the wine is aged in new oak imparting smoke and toast to complement the honeyed and stone fruit characteristics on the palate. It is a rich and ripe wine with considerable length on the palate. Although it is a fine wine we think that the purity and intensity of the fruit characteristics are what make this wine most charming and would advise drinking within ten years of the vintage.
Delicious balance of pear drops, white peaches and hints of elderflower, crisp, fresh with lovely wonderful balance of fruit acidity. Great pairing for light seafood salads, green and Mozzarella salads. Ideal partner to shell fish and delicate white fish.
Yellow straw coloured, very pale. On the nose, it is nicely aromatic, both floral and fruity. Direct and lively attack on the palate, giving a fresh and savoury wine.
The characteristically uplifting aromas of ripe lime and grapefruit, nectarine, papaya and mango and floral notes of orange blossom, gooseberry and sweet fennel are striking. A chalky and weighty texture balanced by a minerally-citrus acid backbone.
