Guido Natalino La Caplana Gavi (Piedmont, Italy) del Comune di Gavi DOCG, 2013 White wine (Cortese)






Guido Natalino La Caplana Gavi (Piedmont, Italy) del Comune di Gavi DOCG, 2013 White wine (Cortese), $15.26-$16.95, 89 points, was a straw yellow color.
Smells of orchard blossoms and orange peel were exceptional.
Light bodied with good acidity carried a broad range of citrus flavors, from orange peel, lemon oil, tangerine notes, with hints of lime and grapefruit were most complex and unusually strong for a Gavi wine.
Finished long on citrus, green melon, a touch of ginger, and a well integrated 12% alcohol.
This very sophisticated white wine from Italy, with great table-setting gravitas, was bought at Angela's pasta and cheese.
 
Butch Lavigne,
 Angela's, passed away; my deepest sympathies.
He will be missed.
