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.

The nose here is brilliantly red fruited, with layer upon layer of subtle spice, bright floral notes, herbs, and stone. Its not all poetry and pageantry, though, and the first impression of the wine was simply, “oh that’s goooood.” A fair assessment, and sometimes that it all one requires. Further tastes show fine tannin throughout, a juicy, vibrant mouthfeel that is very likeable, and deft, long-developing layers of fruit that reveal themselves severally.
Patton Valley's flagship wine, The Estate is the most comprehensive expression of their vineyard site, and the wine that truly defines their place in a given vintage.
Review:
"Glistening red. Vibrant red fruit, floral and spice scents show very good clarity that picks up subtle hints of succulent herbs and smoky minerals with air. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, the 2017 offers gently sweet cherry raspberry and rose pastille flavors and a touch of spicecake. Smooth, well-integrated tannins make a late appearance on a long, floral-tinged finish that shows no rough edges.
