This Gavi reads light and dry, led by pear, green apple and melon over a honeyed, flinty mineral note. Ca' Bianca keeps it unoaked, so lemon-edged acidity and a faint almond finish carry the wine rather than any oak. It sits firmly in the crisp rather than rich style.
White flowers and orchard fruit lead: pear, green apple and a touch of peach, with a honeyed note that Ca' Bianca itself picks out. Underneath sits a flinty, stony minerality. It reads delicate rather than aromatic, true to unoaked Cortese.

HoneyLight-bodied and dry, carried by lemon-fresh acidity. Pear and melon fruit stays crisp and understated, with no oak to soften the line. A clean, easy Gavi rather than a powerful one.
The close is short and mineral, with the faint bitter-almond twist typical of Cortese and a nutty edge behind it.
A dependable, sub-15-pound Piedmontese white from Ca' Bianca (Tenimenti Ca' Bianca, Gruppo Italiano Vini): fresh, mineral Cortese for aperitivo and seafood, best in its first two to three years. A well-liked, reliable buy rather than a wine to cellar.
Ca' Bianca Gavi lands near 15 pounds in the UK, below many Cortese di Gavi labels. The 2025 is the current release; the well-liked 2023 still turns up at retail. Buy it as a fresh house white, not a wine to hold.
This scores as an easy, food-friendly everyday white rather than a collector's bottle. At around 15 pounds, its strengths are value, approachability and versatility at the table; ageing and occasion prestige are not the point of a fresh, unoaked Gavi.
A fresh, sub-15-pound house white that suits midweek seafood and aperitivo far more than a special occasion.
At around 15 pounds, it undercuts many Gavi labels for the quality: a well-liked everyday white.
Bright Cortese acidity and a light body make it a flexible partner for seafood, aperitivo and lean fish, though its delicacy rules out bold or spicy plates.
Easy, unoaked and fruit-forward, it is an approachable introduction to Piedmont's Cortese with no tannin or oak to navigate.
Pleasant and reliable but modest in stature, it is not a bottle chosen to mark a big occasion.
Built for early drinking; unoaked Cortese from Gavi rarely improves past its first two to three years.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Gavi/Cortese di Gavi denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Both stocked vintages are built for early drinking. The 2024 is a well-liked release, while the 2025 is just arriving. Cortese from Gavi rarely rewards cellaring, so treat these as fruit-forward whites for the next two to three years.
The current Ca' Bianca release, still gathering Vivino ratings. Expect the label's usual crisp, unoaked Cortese; drink over the next two to three years.
Vivino rates the 2024 at 3.8 from 38 reviews. A fresh, fruit-forward Gavi to drink young, with pear and citrus over a light mineral edge.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Gavi/Cortese di Gavi is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Gavi/Cortese di Gavi falls within Piedmont, covering Alessandria.
Producer: Casa Vinicola Ca' Bianca, Alice Bel Colle.
UK still duty of 2.67 pounds a bottle plus 20 percent VAT is the biggest single markup on a roughly 15 pound retail Gavi like this one.
As a Tenimenti Ca' Bianca label within Gruppo Italiano Vini, group buying and logistics hold the price below boutique Cortese di Gavi bottlings.
Cortese must be sourced from the delimited Gavi DOCG zone near Alessandria, dearer than generic Piemonte white but far short of single-vineyard Gavi.
No oak and a young release spare the barrel and cellar-ageing costs that inflate pricier Italian whites, keeping Ca' Bianca affordable.
Dishes that go with this wine
Gavi's crisp acidity and light body make Ca' Bianca a classic Piedmontese aperitivo and seafood white. It suits shellfish, pasta and lean fish; vitello tonnato at home and Ligurian focaccia or trofie al pesto just over the border are natural calls. Its delicate frame struggles against chilli heat.
Gavi's lemon-fresh Cortese acidity keeps pace with briny shellfish and squid ink risotto without any oak getting in the way.

The tuna-and-caper sauce of Piedmont's vitello tonnato leans salty and rich; Gavi's acidity and light body refresh each bite, a regional match from Cortese's own back yard.

Just over the border in Liguria, focaccia di Recco oozes creamy stracchino; the wine's crisp acidity and flinty minerality cut the fat and reset the palate.

Gavi's white-flower lift echoes the basil in Ligurian trofie al pesto, while its acidity balances the pine nut and cheese richness.
Try with: Trofie al pesto · More pairings →
At 12.5 to 13 percent and light-bodied, this Cortese won't bully delicate plates like baccala mantecato; it is at home with appetisers and lean fish.
Try with: Baccala Mantecato · More pairings →
Delicate, low-alcohol Gavi has no body or sweetness to tame chilli heat; arrabbiata and diavola-style spice overwhelm its fruit and sharpen the burn.

Confidence · MediumIt is 100% Cortese, the white grape behind every Gavi DOCG. Ca' Bianca, a Tenimenti Ca' Bianca label from Alice Bel Colle in Piedmont's Alto Monferrato, bottles it as a fresh, unoaked white.
Expect pear, green apple and melon with a honeyed, flinty mineral note and lemon-fresh acidity. It sits in the light, dry, crisp camp rather than rich or oaky, and drinkers like it as an everyday white.
Its acidity suits aperitivo, seafood antipasti and lean white fish. Piedmontese vitello tonnato and neighbouring Ligurian focaccia or trofie al pesto are natural regional matches; skip chilli-heavy plates.
It sells in the UK around 15 pounds, undercutting many Gavi labels. It is a dependable, well-liked everyday Cortese rather than a cellar wine.
Drink it young. This is an unoaked, freshness-driven Cortese built for its first two to three years; the 2024 and 2025 releases are best enjoyed now while the fruit and acidity are bright.
