In this video, I taste and compare two examples of Gavi, one from Tesco and one from Majestic, looking at style, quality, examiner-level tasting notes, food pairing ideas, and the key details you need to understand this important DOCG from Piemonte.
I cover:
where Gavi is and why its location matters
the role of Cortese
the difference between lighter, fresher styles and more premium expressions
examiner-style tasting notes
food pairing ideas for both wines
The two wines featured are:
Ascheri Gavi
Fontanafredda Gavi del Comune di Gavi
