One of the most elegant italian white wine, Gavi di Gavi take this name from the town, which is at the centre of the production zone, and the indigenous white grape variety from which it is made. Due to its close proximity with Liguria, its winemaking and gastronomic traditions are more Ligurian than Piemontese, which could explain the light and fruity style of this wine. Despite being more closely linked in style with its neighboring region Liguria Gavi di Gavi’s wines, is still considered Piemont’s white jewel in the crown. It gained DOCG status in the 1998 and its vineyards are mainly found in the hills of the communes in the provincia of Alessandria.
