One of the most popular Italian white wines is Gavi di Gavi. A perfect alternative to Pinot Grigio, this floral white is crisp and dry with youthful vitality and freshness. Few wines rival Gavi for its exceptional affinity with seafood, thanks in large part to it's fantastic acidity. 100% Cortese, the La Bollina style of Gavi with its inviting aromas of peach and honeydew, is what made Gavi the varietal that introduced the world to amazing Italian whites from Piedmont. Historically, Gavi was reserved for the jet set Europeans, and is now becoming popular in the US. 97 Points in three straight vintages, Luca Maroni calls La Bollina one of the best white wines in Italy!
"Straw yellow with golden hues, this white wine opens with a bouquet of jasmine and almonds accompanied by a slight hint of pear, peach and vanilla. On the palate there is a good acidity that gives freshness paired with a minerality and persistence opposing and balancing the softness of natural light sun-ripening grapes." Luca Maroni, 97 Points
