Gavi is a renowned white wine originating from the Gavi region in Piedmont, Italy, primarily made from the Cortese grape variety. This wine is celebrated for its crisp, dry, and refreshing profile, featuring vibrant notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, often complemented by hints of stone fruits. The aromatic experience includes floral nuances like acacia and citrus zest alongside green herbs and mineral undertones that reflect the terroir of its origin.
Characterized by a light to medium body and bright acidity, Gavi offers a smooth finish that enhances its versatility as a food pairing wine. It pairs excellently with seafood dishes such as shellfish, light pasta preparations, salads, grilled vegetables, and mild cheeses. Typically vinified in stainless steel to maintain freshness—though some may undergo malolactic fermentation for added creaminess—Gavi is best served chilled at around 45–50°F (7–10°C) in a standard white wine glass to fully appreciate its complex flavors and aromas.
