Elio Filippino Gavi 2016

Piedmont, ItalyThere is nothing too complicated about this Gavi. It is cortese (it’s a varietal wine whose identity is focused on place), hand-picked and aged three months in stainless steel tanks. The result is a fresh, fruity style cloaked in a nutty, mineral, citrus, orange-flecked cloth. It’s seafood friendly and the more delicate the dish the better. Real wine at a fair price. Gavi di Gavi or Cortese di Gavi is a 1200-hectare DOCG zone that surrounds the city of Gavi itself near the Ligurian border southern Piedmont.Tasted: 04 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
