Food to Eat with a Gavi

The Gavi DOCG zone is in the southeastern-most corner of Piedmont, well-known, at least to American wine drinkers. The grape is Cortes which is fuity and fragrant with a bouquet of apples and a chalky texture on the palate. It does well with chicken, veal, pork, trout, bass wild turkey and pheasant.
History and Characteristics
Bookmark this valuable site
For wine lovers, Piedmont is to Italy what Burgundy is to France-a place where every vineyard is charted and graded based on its relationship to the sun. It is a place where the farmer/winemaker is still very much in evidence; a place where the food and wine is infused with the scent of the earth. Headlining the incredible array of Piedmont wines are the ethereal reds of Barolo and Barbaresco, which in great vintages are some of the most best, longest-lived red wines in the world.
But Piedmont is not limited to Barolo and Barbaresco-in fact, it may be Italy's most "complete" wine region, boasting such a dazzling array of grape varieties and wine styles that it would take a website unto itself to do justice to them all. The Gavi grape is a Piedmontese favorite and represents the "new generation" in Piedmont winemaking, fusing time-honored tradition with modern-day technique.
