2021 Piona Gavi DOCG

100% Cortese from Piedmont.  Piona are a low intervention producer who farm organically.  The wines are raised in stainless steel, preserving its excellent acidity.  What distinguishes Piona from other Gavi we have tasted is quite simply flavour.  There is no neutrality to these wines - they are delicious.

92 Points Tom Kline (The Wine Pilot) – “Organically farmed on a southwest facing site that sees good afternoon sun. Fermented in stainless steel before some lees work over 6 months for texture and added interest. Delicate lift and aromatic poise here. Pear, lemon blossom, green almond first up, followed by fennel, lemon thyme, honeysuckle, and a glimmer of lanolin. Light to medium in body with a gentle waxiness that’s cut by citrusy acid, framing notes akin to the nose. This is equal parts fresh and textural, a Gavi of character and interest.”
