*2W* 2021 Pio Cesare Cortese di Gavi (Piedmont, IT)
The Cortese grapes for this wine are sourced exclusively from a few selected hillside vineyards where families have been producing grapes for generations. Pio Cesare's Gavi is enchanting with its light and lively fruit character. Fresh, juicy yet delicate with notes of salty ripe fruit, bright acid and spiced aromas. Delicious now but this bottle is showing amazing aging potential.
