Michele Chiarlo, Gavi DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) 2017

Oct 28, 2020

By Rebecca Murphy

 Gavi is an ancient town in the Piedmont region of Italy with an historical fortress perched above it.  Gavi is a wine region of approximately 1500 hectares (3700 acres) of Cortese grapes surrounding the town of Gavi.  Gavi is a wine from the Gavi region made from Cortese grapes.  This Gavi from the Michele Chiarlo family is an excellent example of this delicious wine.  Subtle citrus aromas with a whisper of fresh pine offers refreshing, bone- dry, citrus, white peach flavors with an almond note balanced with mouthwatering acidity.  Great with fresh seafood.
