Legend suggests that Principessa Gavia, daughter of the King of the Franks, fell in love with a soldier and the two fled to northwest Italy to escape her disapproving father. The village and wine of Gavi are named after her. A wine that comes from the Cortese di Gavi. One of the great historical and traditional vine of the lower Piedmont. Brilliant straw yellow color, hints of lime, citrus and golden apple on the nose blend perfectly into an intense and fresh aroma. On the palate the softness is well balanced by a hint of acidity. Good persistence.
Food Pairing: Excellent wine as an aperitif but also particularly suitable with starters and first courses based on fish.
