Villa Broglia Gavi di Gavi 2021

Gavi is a buzz word among lovers of Italian whites, and the mineral, citrus crispness of Villa Broglia Gavi is exceptionally fine. Records show the estate’s Piedmont vineyards date from AD 972. Originally called La Meirana, the property was purchased by textile entrepreneur Bruno Broglia in 1972. His vineyards lie in the ‘classico’ part of the region, where the hand-harvested Cortese vineyards enjoy ‘best of the best’ Gavi di Gavi status. The family’s wines regularly score 90 points or more, and three bicchieri (top rating) from Gambero Rosso. Bruno’s sons Paolo and Piero are delighted with the 2021. It’s a racy, dry classic, showing pristine floral and almond character. Enjoy with antipasti, panfried lemon sole or lemon and herb chicken.
