SUNDAY, JULY 9 @ 06:00 AM (ET)
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17 @ 09:15 AM (ET)
Featuring several of Hollywood's finest actresses, The Women is just the kind of witty and elegant movie this crisp, elegant white deserves. Ride the divorce train to Reno with Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Norma Shearer and share some juicy gossip while sipping this delightfully fruity Gavi.
THE WINE
THE GRAPE
THE REGION
You’ll find Gavi in Piedmont, one of Italy’s most famous wine regions. Over half of its annual production is either DOC or DOCG, the highest Italian wine quality categories. Compare that statistic to regions in the south, where only 2% of production fits in those premium categories, and you realize that this is serious wine territory. Cortese is a top white variety here.
WITH FOOD
Delicious as an aperitif, this elegant white is also incredibly food-friendly and able to be enjoyed straight through dinner. Perfect partners include simple white fish (pistachio-lime mahi-mahi is our latest favorite) and shellfish. Vegetarians can enjoy it with a mushroom risotto, or artichokes with a lemon vinaigrette (always a tough pairing, but Gavi is a white that works).
