La Scolca Gavi di Gavi White Label

Gavi, Italy

The world's most recognized Gavi di Gavi — Cortese from the town of Gavi on limestone-clay soils. Apple blossom, citrus zest, white peach, mineral freshness, and the crisp, dry character that makes this Italy's quintessential aperitif white. Versatile, elegant, and consistently reliable.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Ligurian pasta and Piedmontese white — Gavi's mineral freshness and citrus character is the ideal foil for basil pesto's richness; the wine's acidity prevents the pesto from becoming heavy
• main: Cortese's crisp acidity and citrus freshness is the definitive Italian pairing for fried seafood; the wine's mineral precision cuts through the batter; lemon in the garnish mirrors the wine
