Description
Experience the exquisite charm of Terre Antiche Gavi di Gavi 2024, a remarkable dry white wine hailing from the enchanting Piedmont region of Italy. This vintage showcases a sophisticated profile characterized by vibrant notes and a mineral backbone, making it an exceptional choice for the discerning palate.
Crafted from 100% Cortese grapes, this wine embodies the meticulous care taken in vineyard management at the 40-hectare estate. The vineyards, located at an altitude of 300-500 metres above sea level and nurtured in grey marl and sandy loam, present ideal conditions for grape growing, complemented by sufficient water reserves from early spring rains.
The 2024 vintage benefits from a mild summer, allowing grapes to mature while retaining their inherent freshness. After a gentle pressing, the grapes undergo a two-week fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16°C in stainless steel tanks, ensuring pure expression of the fruit without oak aging. This wine pours a stunning lemon yellow colour and delivers an aromatic profile that entices the senses.
- Nose: An enchanting bouquet unfolds, featuring notes of crisp green apple, Golden Delicious pear, delicate chamomile flowers, and hints of green almonds, underlined by a refreshing citrus brightness.
- Palate: A thrilling medley of vibrant citrus and green apple flavours greets the palate, balanced by subtle stone fruit and an elegant, creamy mouthfeel, leading to a satisfying finish.
- Finish: The wine concludes with a crisp, mineral-driven finish, leaving lingering impressions of stone fruit and bright citrus zest, complemented by a refreshing vibrancy.
This wine is best served chilled at 8-10°C to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. Perfectly paired with:
- Bright goat cheese and herb crostini with a drizzle of honey and crushed pistachios
- A refreshing citrus-marinated ceviche platter featuring white fish and avocado
- Lightly spiced Thai papaya salad or coconut-lime chicken skewers, enhancing the wine's crispness
- A creamy panna cotta topped with fresh berries for a delightful dessert experience
- A summer white wine spritzer mixed with sparkling water, mint, and lemon slices for refreshment
Terre Antiche Gavi di Gavi 2024 offers a vibrant and harmonious drinking experience, making it an ideal companion not just to light seafood and aperitifs, but also enriching any gourmet meal with its lively character. Allow yourself to indulge in this finely crafted wine, a true embodiment of Italian winemaking excellence.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store between 45°F and 50°F (7°C - 10°C) to maintain freshness and preserve delicate aromas and flavors. Avoid temperatures above 55°F as it may accelerate aging and do not store in a regular refrigerator for long periods as it can dry the cork.
- Light Exposure: Keep in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light to prevent degradation and preserve quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains properly sealed with its original cork. Avoid drying out of the cork to prevent oxidation; a properly humid environment helps this.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and airtight. This prevents cork shrinking and air ingress.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity between 50%-70% to keep corks from drying out and avoid mold but avoid excessive dampness which may damage labels or corks.
- Special considerations: Avoid frequent and significant temperature fluctuations as these expand and contract the wine and cork risking spoilage. For opened bottles reseal tightly (use a wine stopper or vacuum seal) and store refrigerated at serving temperature (around 45°F); consume within a few days for best quality.
These guidelines will help preserve the white wine’s quality during both short- and long-term storage.
