Villa Broglia Gavi di Gavi 2019

Crafted in premium Piedmont and renowned for its elegance and finesse, Gavi is northern Italy’s top white. ‘Gavi di Gavi’ on the label denotes the best vineyards, and Villa Broglia “makes some of the finest wines in the Gavi appellation,” says expert Antonio Galloni.

Historically, their wines have been quaffed by diplomats and popes, and for more than 30 years, star winemaker Donato Lanati has been keeping the family wine legacy alive in the cellar. Always a smash-hit with critics (International Wine Challenge judges rated one release 95 points and called it “Gavi di Gavi at its best”), the vibrant 2019 already has a 90-point rave from France’s prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard wine guide. (They praised its “fresh palate” and “distinctive elegance.”)

Bursting with perfumed floral aromas and ripe, stone-fruit flavors, it’s a perfect aperitivo and equally tasty with food. Try a well-chilled glass with fresh seafood, simple pastas, or creamy risottos.
