Piona Gavi 2021
About the wine
Piedmont's most celebrated white wine in all its vibrant zestiness
- If you like bright, crisp wines, like Pinot Grigio and Chenin Blanc, then you will be taken by Gavi's balance of freshness and racy fruit flavours, unique to the Piedmont area.
- Known as the 'Chablis of Italy', Gavi is made from the Cortese grape. The wine's bursting with zippy and zesty citrus and grapefruit flavours. With a lovely floral aromatic hit with every sip, it's the ultimate refresher.
- The native grape is a great representative of the surrounding Piedmont area. The warm Mediterranean sun beautifully ripens the fruit, so its mouthwatering flavours shine through, and the snow capped nearby Alps not only provide a post-card perfect scene, but also ensure those crisp, round textures keep you reaching for another glass.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Silvana Aluigi and Camilla Gemme
- Camilla and Silvana are the mother-daughter winemaking team, who since 2015, have taken Piedmont by storm with their deliciously light and fruity white wines. They share the same vision for a fully female-run winery, with a mission to preserve ancient winemaking traditions, their heritage and the environment. Their winemaking philosophy starts in the vineyards, where they nurture the grapes from vine to bottle.
- Cortese is the grape variety used to produce Gavi di Gavi, and grown in a tiny area of Piedmont. Camilla and Silvana champion the slightly-off-the-beaten-track region - its soothing gentle sea breezes and salty air influences the wine's crisp and refreshing character.
- Camilla and Silvana are winemakers with vision. Thanks to support from their Angels, the pair have been able to dream bigger than ever before. They not only strive to craft the most expressive Gavi di Gavi but also to boost the profile of the region, often referred to as the 'Chablis of Italy'.
