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.

Review:
"A semi-opaque, dark fruited bottling with spice, black pepper, violets and earth. Traditional in style, it’s broad and mouth filling with tangy acidity on a concentrated, layered palate. A blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre from 40-year-old vines. - Don WINKLER" - International Wine Review (Kysela Père et Fils Importer: 30 Years Importing High Quality, High Value Wines ; July 26th 2024), 92 pts
Hugl Zweigelt Classic 2024 is made from Zweigelt.
Despite its relative youth, Zweigelt is an Austrian classic. The variety was created in 1922 when Dr. Fritz Zweigelt crossed St. Laurent and Blaufrankisch. Today it is the most widely planted red variety in Austria - a robust grape, highly resistant to dryness, frost and disease.
The wine shows a concentrated color, fruity and spicy aromas and cherry flavors. Full-bodied, smooth and round, it is an ideal companion at the table. Bottled in a 1-liter format.
