Cortese on Snooth

 
  • Gavi almost always seems to pair well with seafood or rissoto, but be selective ... a grape of high pedigree (Cortese).

  • Michele Chiarlo Rovereto Gavi del Commune di Gavi DOCG 2008

  • Vigne Regali Banfi Gavi Principessa Gavia 2008

    Snoothrank:

    A squirt of lemon juice on fish would be one way to describe the nose of this unprepossessing wine - usually perfect for nondescript mid-winter evenings in the rainy Pacific Northwest. Very neutral flavored with light straw color and residual spritz. Short finish. A somewhat... Read more

  • Banfi Vigne Regali Principessa Gavia Gavi 2007

    Snoothrank:

    Straw bright, clean aromas of jasmine water and yellow apple, notes of lemon cucumber sparkling mineral water, focused with bright frizzate and good length. Great with scampi, scallops and chicken with lemons.

  • I've developed an odd fascination with grapes that are primarily Italian but ... I think my nod goes to their Cortese and for red to their Dolcetto. Super reasonably priced also (and no, I'm in no way associated with them; I should be so lucky as to get a kick-back)

  • Guiseppe Cortese Piedmont 2001

    Snoothrank:

    Excellent wine, very smooth. Visited the small family winery in Peidmont - uses large oak barrells that taste like an authentic barolo
