If you have never tasted a Gavi wine, La Mesma offers a great introduction with its subtle floral, citrus aromas, and peachy, citrus flavors. It is crisp and bone dry and flavors linger in the mouth and memory. Gavi is an Italian white wine appellation in southeastern Piedmont. It is a beautiful green area that enjoys the coastal breezes from the Liguria. Cortese is the sole grape variety in Gavi wines. La Mesma is owned by the Rosina family, and is run by three sisters, Paola, Francesca and Anna. Their website states that the winery is certified organic, and the winemaking process is solar powered.
