Wine from Gavi
Filter
Italian white wine is crafted in a portion of Piedmont called the Province of Alessandria. This white wine is made from a particular grape variety called Cortese that sits close to the town of Gavi. The region’s production style goes all the way back to 1876 and the wine was given the status of DOC in the early 1970’s. In the late 1990’s the Gavi wine was awarded DOCG status. Due to the change in status, Gavi wines can now only be produced in several towns. Among these are the towns of Gavi, Parodi, San Cristoforo, Tassarolo, and Bosio. Only several other towns in the list of Italian towns are permitted to craft the wine. The story of the Gavi wine goes back to around the 5th century where there was a princess called by the name of Gavia. The princess loved one of the guards and was not allowed to marry him. The couple eloped and got married, but her secret slipped. Her father, the king, was asked to forgive his daughter, and when she came back with her new husband, it is said the king gave them an entire town and named the wine created there in honor of the happy couple.

J. Christopher Appassionata Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Appassionata Chardonnay is the expressive summit of this classic Burgundian variety in the Willamette Valley. Fermented and matured in large (500-liter) oak casks, it rests on the full lees for two years before bottling. It then rests in our cellar for another year before its release, three years after vintage. The wine’s elegant texture, fine structure and extended maturation time ensure a long life for this vibrant Chardonnay.
Whole-cluster pressing; native yeast fermentation in 500-liter French oak barrels; natural malolactic fermentation; 21 months maturation on the lees.
Review:
Anyone questioning Chardonnay’s potential in the Willamette Valley should try this rich and sophisticated wine. A silky texture, is met with mouthfilling flavors of orange sorbet, pineapple and challah bread, as well as a hint of mint. The aromas of lemon curd and petrichor are equally delightful.

Elvio Cogno Cascina Nuova Barolo is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
Born to satisfy the curiosity of consumers keen to have a more immediate understanding of Barolo, the wine is bright garnet red in color with orange tints. Pleasing and immediate, it offers scents of flowers and light, delicate spices. The mouth is agreeably rounded, juicy and fresh, with just the right balance between pleasantness and elegance. The aftertaste is very harmonious with a mineral, aromatic finish.
Review:
This Barolo shows lavender, dried cranberries, licorice and a touch of tile on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and balanced, with lovely, succulent fruit complemented by incisive acidity. The tannins are fine grained yet chewy, but they gradually resolve toward the bright finish. Better from 2026.
