\"Tenuta<\/div>\n

Gavi<\/strong> has become seriously popular recently. Maybe it’s the clean fresh style so ‘typical’ of Italian white wine, maybe it’s that it’s easy to remember and pronounce. It comes from the ‘armpit’ just north of Genoa, where the Italian peninsula joins the main European landmass.<\/p>\n

\"Gavi<\/div>\n

We once imported one of the wines of\u00a0Tenuta la Marchesa back in 2006, but must have been ahead of the curve – but when we hunted this year it was again\u00a0this estate which stood out – even if the name of the better cuv\u00e9e has mysteriously changed from black (‘Etichetta Nera’) to gold.<\/p>\n

A beautiful 18th Century villa named after the noble bride it was built for – La Marchesa<\/strong> – set among 58ha of vines, making some lovely wines from the local Cortese<\/strong> grape variety. Cool fermentation and a very low sulphur r\u00e9gime yielding wines as light as a feather, crisp and so very clean and with nicely sensible alcohol levels (both under 12%).<\/p>\n

\"2013-GAVI-Etichetta-Bianca-Tenuta-la-Marchesa\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Single bottle \u00a312.50\u00a0 or just \u00a311.25<\/span> ‘Case Price’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lighter<\/strong> of the two Gavis (11.5%), bright, crisp, with hints of citrus fruit.<\/p>\n

2013 GAVI Etichetta Oro Tenuta la Marchesa<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"2013<\/a><\/div>\n

Single bottle \u00a314.95\u00a0 or just \u00a313.75<\/span> ‘Case Price’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gold Label<\/strong> (which as you can see has very little gold on it in reality) spends six months ageing in stainless steel on its lees to pick up a touch more zip, a wafer more weight, and a faint hint of smoke and spice. Still very light and crisp and still just 12%. Great aperitif or with some light healthy-feeling supper.<\/p>\n

Try them both in this \u00a3150 mixed dozen<\/span><\/a><\/span> or make up your own mixed case from our\u00a0 Italian white wine selection.<\/a> and take advantage of our ‘case price discount<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
