2021 Giordano Lombardo Gavi di Gavi, Piedmont, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE

This energetic white, made with organically grown cortese grapes, has all the liveliness you’d expect in a Gavi, with the added bonus of lemon and mineral flavors and a satisfying weight to the texture. This is a good one for all manner of seafood.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

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.
