2020 Bine Gavi Riserva Vigna Gambarotta (750ml)

Grown across the calcareous clay soils unique to the Gavi DOCG in Piedmont, the 2020 Bine Gavi Riserva Vigna Gambarotta channels the concentrated mineral structure and extended aging required for reserve-classification Italian whites. Sourced exclusively from the Vigna Gambarotta vineyard plot, the 100% Cortese grapes are vinified with precise temperature control to preserve the varietal’s signature crisp acidity while developing the pronounced savory depth typical of a vintage laid down for maturation.

The nose delivers focused notes of dried apricot, lemon oil, chamomile, and wet flint, supported by a textured mid-palate built through prolonged lees contact. The finish remains tight and saline, offering clear verticality and a lingering bitter-almond edge that will continue integrating over two to four years in bottle. Rather than overt sweetness, this bottling rewards patience with growing integration and broader mouthfeel.

Decant for twenty minutes before serving at 48–52°F to allow the restrained aromatics to open. The wine’s high acid line and firm backbone pair reliably with pan-seared sea bass, grilled octopus, and mushroom-based pastas, while the resinous finish complements sharp pecorino or aged Taleggio. Keep stored horizontally in a cool cellar away from direct light until ready to pour.
