Gavi is one of Piemonte’s most compelling whites — a dry, mineral-driven expression of Cortese grown on marl and silt soils in the southeastern corner of the region. Marchesi di Barolo has made wine in the Langhe since 1807, when the historic cellars were first built; Pietro Abbona purchased the estate in 1929, and today fifth-generation winemaker Ernesto Abbona and his wife Anna run the property.

Cortese here has remarkable sapidity — the mineral quality that makes each sip feel clean and complete rather than just dry. The right wine for Piemontese cooking, and most things that come out of the sea.
