Gavi di Gavi
Ciarea
Bibliographic sources attest to the presence of this vine in various areas of Piedmont since the late nineteenth century, while today most of the production is concentrated in the municipalities of Capriata d’Orba, Francavilla Bisio and Gavi. Although it does not enjoy the same fame as the “noble reds” typical of our region, it is highly appreciated as an aperitif wine or a meal to accompany appetizers or light first courses.
