Gavi La Battistina 2025
Gavi La Battistina is a crisp, aromatic white wine from Araldica's La Battistina estate in the Gavi DOCG, Italy , crafted from 100% Cortese grown on a unique combination of limestone and clay soils. With 35-year-old vines and a south-facing aspect, this is one of Italy's most fashionable and characterful white wines at an outstanding everyday price. Why You'll Love It The La Battistina estate consists of 25 hectares of south-facing vineyards in the Gavi DOCG, including 5 hectares within the prestigious Gavi del Comune di Gavi sub-zone. What makes this estate truly distinctive is its unique isolated bubble of chalky, mineral soil, a combination of limestone and clay that allows full ripening of the Cortese grape while preserving the freshness and mineral precision that define great Gavi. The estate is divided into three distinct areas, each producing wines of different character, with La Battistina representing the unoaked, fruit-driven expression of the estate's finest fruit. Vineyard & Production Vines average 35 years of age, grown on south-facing slopes on a unique combination of limestone and clay soils that contribute both mineral depth and the ability to fully ripen the Cortese grape. The estate's 25 hectares are divided into three distinct areas, with the majority of grapes going to produce the unoaked La Battistina, while the premium Bricco Battistina comes from vines on the crown of the hill and Nuovo Quadro from a small plot within the Gavi sub-zone. Vinified without oak to preserve the variety's natural freshness and aromatic character. Tasting Notes Aromatic and zesty on the nose, with apple, lime, and kiwi notes and a hint of minerality. The palate is juicy and weighty, with a zippy citric acidity that creates a refreshing, mouthwatering, and satisfying finish. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, and light pasta dishes. Also excellent as an aperitif or alongside fresh cheeses and Italian antipasti. Grape Varieties Co
Tabali Pedregoso Viognier Gran Reserva 2023
Tabalí Pedregoso Gran Reserva Viognier is a bright and expressive expression of Viognier from the Limarí Valley, planted on stony alluvial soils enriched with calcareous deposits. The valley’s unique geology—mineral-rich terraces shaped by ancient glaciers—gives the wine remarkable freshness and a delicate mineral character, distinguishing it from other Chilean Viogniers. Hand-harvested at optimal aromatic ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle whole-bunch pressing, decanting at low temperature, and fermentation in small stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. The wine is then aged in stainless steel until bottling, producing a vibrant, aromatic wine with purity, structure, and a bright, refreshing finish. Meet the producer Established in 2002, Viña Tabalí is a pioneering winery on the edge of the Atacama Desert, celebrated for precise, terroir-driven wines that showcase the distinctive character of northern and central Chile. Production Grapes are whole-bunch pressed to preserve acidity and freshness. The must is decanted at low temperature for 12 hours, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is kept in stainless steel tanks until bottling, ensuring purity, aromatic intensity, and crisp minerality. Tasting notes Pale golden in colour, the nose reveals citrus, orange peel, dried apricot, and white peach, complemented by subtle floral and candied fruit notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh and vibrant, with honeyed and citrus flavours layered over chalky minerality, creating a bright, elegant structure typical of Limarí Viognier. Food match Pairs beautifully with delicate seafood such as langoustine, as well as aromatic Thai or Pan-Asian cuisine. Try with seabass in ginger for a harmonious pairing. Grape Viognier 100%
