Surrounded by the snowy capped Alps the wine region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy looks a little like something from The Sound of Music! This is home to one of the most famous white wine varieties from this part of the wine world – Cortese (pronounced “kort-tay-zay”) and the most famous is Gavi from the namesake town in Piedmont’s southeast.
Gavi’s are best known for being crisp, refreshing, mouth-puckering and bone-dry in style with citrus, lemon-like flavours. If you love Italian Pinot Grigio this is a style you’ll be in to.
Ricossa’s history dates back to the 1800s when Lorenzo Ricossa started a distillery which grew into the international brand Martini. These days the Ricossa wine estate is part of the MGM Mondo del Vino wine group. They’re a world renowned wine company of almost 30 years and the first in Europe to embrace the EU green policy, they’re previous winners of No.1 European Wine Producer at one of the largest wine award shows in Europe, the Mundus Vini Awards.
If you’re pairing with food serve it nicely chilled and stick with light pastas, creamy risotto, seared scallops or fish in light and creamy sauces.
