7 Days in Italy II; 2/17/2019-2/23/2019: Wow, this is a fine nose. Some herb in there, but really glassy aromas. -lots of soil diversity in Gavi, they like marl (at most 35% clay) and whit soils. An aromatic variety (meaning the aroma comes from the pulp, not the skins. White fruit, white flower aromas. ‘Sage and rosemary’. ‘Lavender flower.’ White soils are poorer than the red clay-based soils. Lots of fruit aromas. Peach palate. Excellent. Historically Gavi was a vermouth base, as they got more expensive this passed. My notes say the 2018 was bottled in early September, which would be immediately after harvest. Doesn’t seem right, but I’ll check.

Floral and tropical fruit-forward, but not overly sweet.
