WINE DESCRIPTION
Five generations and 200 years transformed a small Piemontese village into a wine world paradise. The Marchesi di Barolo began their journey into red wine production five generations ago, marking a significant shift from their regional rule. Today, Marchesi di Barolo, with 200 hectares, stands as the largest family winery in Piedmont, and Barolo is celebrated as one of the world's great red wines. Anna and Ernesto Abbona now lead the family business, known for producing top-class wines, which has been a regional pioneer for over a century. Without Marchesi, neither Barolo nor Piedmont would be where they are today.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Marchesi di Barolo Gavi is a delightful white wine hailing from the Gavi region in Italy.This wine is made from the Cortese grape variety, which is known for producing crisp and refreshing wines.
On the nose, Marchesi di Barolo Gavi offers enticing aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of white flowers and a subtle mineral undertone. The palate is equally impressive, with a vibrant acidity that brings out the zesty citrus flavors. There is also a pleasant touch of almond that adds complexity to the wine.
The texture of Marchesi di Barolo Gavi is smooth and well-balanced, with a medium body that makes it highly enjoyable to drink. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of these dishes, creating a harmonious and satisfying pairing.
