100% Cortese
Winemaker Notes
The Broglia Gavi La Meirana displays pale yellow color with green reflections. The bouquet on the nose is fine and delicate with lots of fruits, such as peach, melon and pink grapefruit, together with some hints of anise and flowers. Very fresh and balanced sip, with a long fruity finish.
Ideal as an aperitif; perfect with grilled fish, sea salt bream and fish soup.
91 points James Suckling
A citrusy and almondy Gavi with more depth and structure than most. Some real power at the texturally complex finish. Better from 2019. It shows at least five years of aging potential beyond that.
90 points Wine Spectator
An extra dimension of peach and melon fruit graces this round, juicy white. Vibrant and tense, with the acidity driving the lingering aftertaste. Drink now.
90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
If you love the linear and profound mineral sensations you get with the unoaked Cortese grape, this is your wine. The 2016 Gavi di Gavi La Meirana is a dry and delineated white wine that sports pristine aromas of honeydew melon, Granny Smith apple and crushed flint or granite. The wine is crisp and streamlined in terms of mouthfeel, but it offers just enough acidity to keep the finish tangy and persistent. This is a beautifully refreshing drink.
90 points Wine & Spirits
Broglia vinifies its flagship bottling in stainless steel to preserve cortese’s floral scents and crisp pear and apple flavors. A touch of residual sugar accentuates the fruit, balanced by a pleasantly bitter almond note.
