Castello Banfi Principessa Gavia 2024

Gavi, Piedmont, ItalyWe haven't seen this wine in BC in 20 years, but in Ontario, it is readily available for just $21. It offers a fresh, floral note with hints of leesy bread dough—a delicious, versatile white with a bit of soul and provenance. In the 6th century, Princess Gavia and a soldier eloped to a village in northwestern Italy after her father, King Clodimir, forbade their marriage. They enjoyed the local white wine, revealed their identities, and were forgiven by the King, who named the village and its wine after Gavia. Their love story is said to inspire each glass of Principessa Gavia Gavi.Tasted: 27 November 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
