Giordano Lombardo Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2023, Piedmont, Italy

TASTING NOTES

Nestled just outside the medieval village of Gavi among verdant woods and picturesque vineyards, the 20 hectares that make up the biodynamic vineyard of Giordano Lombardo straddle the border of the Piedmont and Liguria regions. The indigenous Cortese vines that are grown here give rise to an unadulterated wine that fully embodies the climate, soil and winemaking tradition of the region. Passionately committed to the idea that nature is a resource to be nurtured rather than exploited and misused, yields are kept low and the use of pesticides, herbicides, anti-mildew agents and fertilizers is strictly forbidden. -Importer's Notes

 

An expressive and inviting nose reveals delicate white flower, chamomile and wild herbs woven with aromas of green apple, apricot and lemon zest with subtle hints of crushed stones. Clean and focused, the palate delivers a vibrant mix of grapefruit, orange blossom, apricot, green plum and a touch of salinity with a fine mineral tension. Sip and savor this inviting white with chicken piccata, pasta primavera or a simple grilled branzino with lemon, olive oil and fresh herbs.
