Reviews and Ratings

Wines for Gavi di Gavi are made from the Cortese grape and must come from the township of Gavi itself. They tend to have more heft and impact than wines from the larger Gavi DOCG. This example features aromas of Golden Delicious apple, pear, melon and citrus. Dry and fresh, this delicious wine is very well balanced. Source: Vintages Panel

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
