Gavi--Piedmont's other wine The red gem in Italy's crown is Piedmont. Barolo and Barbaresco are heralded wines made from her famous nebbiolo grape. Those of us with a tighter budget know that Piedmont's everyday reds, made from the grapes barbera or dolcetto are worthy of praise too. But not many people know about one of Piedmont's softer selections, a white wine called Gavi. Like most bottles of wine from Europe, Gavi is named for the town rather than the grape. This naming convention not only follows tradition, but distinguishes wine made in Gavi, from lesser cortese from other areas. Gavi is made with the cortese grape, but outside of Gavi cortese has a history of producing poor quality wines. It struggles to ripen and oxidizes quickly, losing its fresh, lively qualities. But folks in Gavi know that with proper care, cortese can make voluptuous, succulent wines. This is why they boast the name Gavi. Records indicate that cortese has been around for at least 400 years, but it has only been in the last century that techniques in preventing oxidization have elevated it to the stature it deserves. Gavi is described in terms of nectarines, apricots, citrus zest, honey, fresh herbs and minerals. Some Gavi is slightly carbonated or frizzante, which gives it a touch ceremony. Soft and exotic, it carries an air of distinction. Gavi enjoys the premier designation of D.O.C.G. like its neighbors Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti, and Gattinara. The Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (D.O.C.G.) is a guarantee from the Italian government the wine is of exceptional quality. Michele Chiarlo is a quality producer and his Gavi D.O.C.G. is fine example of how rich Gavi can be.
