Description: One area of confusion has been how the wine is titled; Gavi, Cortese di Gavi, Gavi di Gavi to name but a few. The only difference in naming is that a Gavi di Gavi wine indicates that grapes are from vineyards within the township of Gavi itself, whereas other labels can use grapes from the surrounding communes.
Gavi is a great Italian white wine and whether you think that Gavi di Gavi and Gavi are two different wines or not, that one is better than the other, there is only one appellation, the Gavi DOCG.
Vinification: The grapes undergo soft pressing in order to obtain a high-quality grape must, which is then fermented at a low controlled temperature. Once the fermentation process is completed, the wine rests on fine lees for 6 months until the bottling phase
Food Match: Also well paired with Shell fish, light pastas with creamy fish sauces, salads and risottos.
