Bruno Broglia Gavi di Gavi 2018

Piedmont, Italy Decanter 90 points! James Suckling 90 points! Bruno Broglia Gavi di Gavi is a beautiful white wine of 100% Cortese from this famous region of Piedmont. La Meirana is the name of the Broglia family estate, established by Bruno Broglia and managed today by his sons, Gian Piero and Paolo, who continue the winery’s ultra-millenary tradition. The whole estate’s 250 acres are planted with Cortese with an average yield per acre of 95 quintals due to the laws regulating the Gavi di Gavi appellation. The rich structure and acidity of Broglia’s grapes produce a wine which is suitable for aging, maintaining its aromas and freshness over time. Bruno Broglia Gavi di Gavi is pale straw yellow with green reflections. It offers a rich and intense bouquet on the nose, with complex fragrances of wildflowers and honey. It is full-bodied with bright acidity, good structure and rich flavors of apples, pears and stone fruit. The wine is well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 4-5 years. It is dry and smooth on the palate with a long, pleasing finish. “These hand-harvested 30-year-old vines have produced an intense and richly textured white that is ideal for drinking on its own as well as with food. Pink grapefruit outlines the baked apple, almond and spice flavours, with a lovely wave of acidity following closely behind.”—Decanter 90 points!
