2010 Michele Chiarlo Anniversario Gavi
Another purchase from Costco Michele Chiarlo 2010 Anniversario Gavi was an interesting Italian white wine. Fragrances of apricot and fresh pear were present. The finish had a slight chestnut flavor; yet the entire body of the wine was fairly dry and crisp.
Overall the 2010 Gavi is easy to drink. I am not that familiar with Italian wines; however Gavi is a white grape I believe from the Piemonte region (Upper NW corner of Italy). I am going to give this one 3 Stars and given the price of Y875 I would recommend this for a good, everyday table wine.
Summary: Crisp white wine with a good balance. Apricot/pears; very fragrant.

I don't know much about Italian wines either, but I like these sort of unusual white wines from italy. The grape is Cortese I believe and Gavi is the region. I've never had this, but it looks very intriguing.
