Here’s a light and luminous Gavi that would make an excellent pairing partner to bruschetta or sliced ham on toasted bread. Crisp, tonic and fresh, the wine is loaded tight with citrus and stone fruit aromas.——M.L.(12/1/2010)—— 86

An exotic nose of spiced pears and white pepper with butter undertones makes for an eye-opening start. Made in a more luxuriant style than many Gavi, it shows a bit of texture on the palate and finishes with flavors of green plums, freshly cut grass and lychee. Drink up.——W.E.(2/1/2010)—— 86
