Where northeastern Italy has Pinot Grigio, northwestern Italy has Cortese: a crisp, delicate white grape used for making Gavi. This lovely wine from one of the most trusted producers in northwestern Italian winemaking has zippy acidity and a refreshing taste, finishing with notes of Meyer lemon, ripe apricot, and green almonds. Enjoy with sweet-potato-stuffed pesto ravioli.[Luca Maroni tasting note not available.] Score – 91. (lucamaroni.com, July 19, 2022)
