2025 Francesco Rinaldi e Figli, Gavi

Slurp Wines NR

Gavi is Piedmont's favourite white, made from a local grape called Cortese. Crisp, light and dangerously easy to drink, it's what the locals open with lunch. The Rinaldi family are old hands in Barolo, where they've been making traditional reds for generations, and they bring the same care to this bottle. You'll get lemon, green pear and a touch of almond, with a clean, slightly salty finish. This is a young 2025, so drink it now while it's at its zippiest, ideally with pesto pasta or a big bowl of mussels. [Slurp Wines, 28/09/2026]
