Gavi di Gavi 'La Minaia', Nicola Bergaglio 2018

Good afternoon -,

Nicola Bergaglio's Gavi di Gavi is the best Gavi di Gavi on the market, and certainly the best we have ever tasted. Many of us it will be a 'staycation' this year, but there are few better ways of bringing a little bit of holiday sunshine into your lives than with a glass of something truly delicious - Nicola Bergaglio’s la Minaia Gavi di Gavi certainly is that.

Since we were first introduced to this estate, it has continually improved year after year with the 2015 vintage being awarded the very highest accolade in the Vini d'Italia magazine, and the 2018 is no exception. Made from the native Piedmonte grape cortese, this is one of our most elegant whites, with enough body to accompany a wide range of foods or simply to be enjoyed leisurely in the sun.

For me, I can think of little better than a glass of this alongside a seafood platter, who needs to get away when life can taste this good?

How does the wine taste?
All the classic flavours you would expect of a Gavi di Gavi - pears, citrus fruit, apples - but with a balance and length unusual for a wine at this price. This is a finely crafted, fresh white which would make an ideal match for all manner of white fish dishes.

What do the professionals think?
"Mrs Ray also has a distinct weakness for Gavi di Gavi, honed during many years of sitting by sun-dappled pools on holiday in Italy. She heartily approved of the 2017 Nicola Bergaglio, ‘La Minaia’ Gavi di Gavi and I lapped it up too (what little she left). Made from 100 per cent Cortese in the heart of Piedmont, it’s stainless-steel fermented for freshness and spends plenty of time in bottle before release. It’s aromatic and peachy with mouth-filling fresh fruit and a long, silky finish."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

"Fresh hints of citrus fruit, hawthorn followed by sea and cliff aromas...The length demonstrates incisiveness. Pronounced flavour and juicy drink. Drink 2017-2023"
Decanter Magazine, February 2018

"Tre Bicchieri (3 glasses) 2016 – Winner - 2015 vintage. Tre Bicchieri is the most coveted award for an Italian wine. This is the highest rating that can be given to a wine as part of “Vini d’Italia” guide book."
