Staff Pick Notes

Gavi di Gavi, also know as Gavi di Cortese, is a native wine grown only in the sub-region of Piedmont known as Province of Alessandria. This grape tends to thrive in elevated cooler climates, often on steep terrain, and always surrounded by plush mineral packed soils. The La Mesma vineyard is a small operation of 26 hectre run by the Rosina sister's, Paola, Francesca, and Anna. Their philosophy is to let the grapes and the land speak for themselves, with minimal intervention in the growing process, as well as delicate, and precise hand farming methods. The love these sisters feel towards their vineyard is reflected in this glass of crisp refreshing Gavi. It's an easy choice for any occasion.
