La Trombetta Gavi 2015

A top seller in the 1970s, Gavi sales slumped 20 years ago. This caused cellars to up their game and we are the beneficiaries. Today it's the Italian classic we all want in our glass. Refined, family made La Trombetta shows you why. It's made from Cortese - a local grape that thrives in the chalky soils and cool, maritime climate of the Lancellotta estate in premium Piedmont. This wine takes its name from a small plot shaped like a trumpet (La Trombetta). The vines are 35 years old and produce small quantities of concentrated grapes. The wine has a perfect harmony of citrus fruit, mineral notes and freshness. Classic Gavi, it excels alongside grilled sole or herby pasta dishes such as tajarin (Piemontese tagliatelle) with sage butter.
