Michele Chiarlo Rovereto Gavi del Commune di Gavi 2025
Nestled within the very best historic vineyard sites of Piedmont, the Michele Chiarlo Rovereto Gavi del Comune di Gavi is a benchmark example of this famous Italian white wine. The Rovereto area is widely considered the absolute grand cru of the region, where the dark, iron-rich clay soils impart an incredible depth of flavour to the native Cortese grape, resulting in a wine of outstanding elegance and clarity. Pouring a brilliant pale yellow, the aroma is beautifully lifted, greeting you with delicate white flowers, crisp green apple, and fresh apricot. On the palate, the wine feels remarkably pure and focused. It balances that vibrant orchard fruit with a deeply savoury, almost flinty mineral edge and a gentle touch of almond. Because the winemaking team deliberately avoids heavy oak, the natural energy of the grapes takes centre stage, leading into a brilliantly clean and refreshing finish. Thanks to its bright acidity and refined mineral character, this exceptional Gavi acts as a brilliant partner for delicate, fresh cooking. It is a natural choice to serve alongside classic seafood dishes. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh crab linguine, pan-fried scallops with lemon butter, or a simple grilled white fish served with seasonal green vegetables.
