Piona Bricco delle Farfalle Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2019
About the wine
A fresh and refined white wine from the 'Chablis of Italy'
- If you like bright, crisp wines, like Pinot Grigio and Chenin Blanc, then you will be taken by Silvana and Camilla's Gavi del Comune di Gavi's balance of freshness and racy fruit flavours, unique to the Piedmont area.
- Known as the 'Chablis of Italy', Gavi is made from the Cortese grape, and this one is a classic balanced with punchy citrus and grapefruit, and soft, rounded melon flavours. It has a lush, long finish with some creamy almond notes typical of a high-quality Gavi.
- The native grape is a great representative of the surrounding Piedmont area. The warm Mediterranean sun beautifully ripens the fruit, so its mouthwatering flavours shine through, and the snow capped nearby Alps not only provide a post-card perfect scene, but also ensure those crisp, round textures keep you reaching for another glass.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Silvana Aluigi and Camilla Gemme
- Camilla and Silvana are the mother-daughter winemaking team, who since 2015, have taken Piedmont by storm with their deliciously light and fruity white wines. They share the same vision for a fully female-run winery, with a mission to preserve ancient winemaking traditions, their heritage and the environment. Their winemaking philosophy starts in the vineyards, where they nurture the grapes from vine to bottle.
- Cortese is the grape variety used to produce Gavi di Gavi, and grown in a tiny area of Piedmont. Camilla and Silvana champion the slightly-off-the-beaten-track region - its soothing gentle sea breezes and salty air influences the wine's crisp and refreshing characters.
- Camilla and Silvana are winemakers with vision. Angel funding has allowed them to dream big. They not only strive to craft the most expressive Gavi di Gavi but also to boost the profile of the region, often referred to as the 'Chablis of Italy'.
