2023 BB&R Gavi di Gavi by Roberto Sarotto Piedmont Italy

The 2023 vintage was ideal for Gavi. The Cortese grape benefitted from the warmth of the year while still retaining its characteristic elegance and freshness, aided by the area’s calcareous soils. The palate is beautifully expressive, with sweet, crisp apple, ripe pear and peach skin. This is underscored by bounding, zippy acidity and a refreshing chalky bite. It is a quintessential Northern Italian white.
