Lower ABV Since 1949, the Picollo family has grown grapes in just one place - the Piemonte's Gavi region - and made just three wines: Gavi, Gavi di Gavi, and a barrel-aged Gavi di Gavi.  With that much practice and focus, it's hardly surprising they made a terrific Gavi DOCG in the excellent 2022 vintage!

The aromas of sweet lemon, firm honeydew melon, apricot, chive and citrus blossom really jump out of the glass. The flavors are intense and compelling, with bold notes of lemon, lime, tangerine and melon that get energy and drive from the racy, fresh, acids. A lick of chalk gives a mineral edge to the very, very, long finish that leaves your mouthwatering over the lingering lemon, citrus blossom and fresh apricot flavors. The cut and verve make this an excellent match for shellfish, ceviche, and any kind of fried food, but there’s enough body (at just 12.5% alcohol) to keep things equally appealing on pop-and-pour just because you’re thirsty.  You'll want to have a bottle chilled and ready for thirst-quenching sharing all year long!
