Reviews and Ratings

As legend has it, Principessa Gavia, daughter of the King of the Franks, fell in love with a soldier who she ran away with to northwest Italy to escape her disapproving father. The village and wine of Gavi are named after her. Made with the local Cortese grape, this Gavi is a delightful and refreshing wine that shows layers of citrus fruits, peach and pear balanced by a slight spritz. It’s perfect on its own as an aperitif. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
