Il Poeta Gavi 2017
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Hailing from northern Italy’s premium Piedmont, our best-selling Il Poeta wines showcase some of this region’s finest reds (like Barolo and Barbaresco). It’s fitting, then, that the equally popular white release gives you a taste of Gavi, Piedmont’s No. 1 white.
Like all our Il Poeta exclusives, this elegant Gavi hails from grape grower Natale Seghesio and talented winemaker Paolo Sartirano. Quality-driven Natale (aka ‘il Poeta’) is among the last of Piedmont’s traditional Masuè sharecroppers, and not only tends to his vines, but famously writes a commemorative poem that tells the rhythm and story of the vintage (check it out on the label). Yields were low in 2017, but Natale’s Cortese (the great grape of Gavi) thrived, producing a hallmark citrus vibrancy and complex aromas.
Working with Natale’s top-notch grapes, Paolo took over in the cellar. As you’ll taste, he’s captured everything that’s beautiful about Gavi here – delicate white blossom aromas, crisp citrus characters, and ripe, orchard-fruit flavors. Balanced and refreshing, with a long, mineral-driven finish, Il Poeta will make a mouthwatering aperitif or fine partner for seafood, poultry dishes, and more.
