Batasiolo Black Gavi 75cl

Bright, zippy, and seriously easy to love, this is the Italian white wine you grab when you want something crisp that still has personality. Batasiolo’s “Black” Gavi leans into what Gavi does best, fresh fruit, lively acidity, and that little mineral edge that makes you go back for another sip.

• Appearance: Pale straw with green hints, clear and bright in the glass.
• Nose: Lemon peel, green apple, pear, white flowers, plus a clean, stony-mineral vibe.
• Taste: Citrus and orchard fruit up front, then a dry, mouth-watering finish with refreshing acidity that makes food taste better.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, crisp rather than weighty, perfect when you want flavour without heaviness.
• Finish: Clean and lightly saline, with a lingering citrus note that stays sharp and refreshing.

Gavi comes from Piedmont in north-west Italy, a region that’s basically a cheat code for wines with real character. The star grape here is Cortese, and it’s loved for one big reason, it keeps things fresh. That means you get a white that feels energetic, not sleepy, and it holds its own from the first sip to the last glass.

This bottle is a great pick for home bartenders and food people because it behaves at the table. The bright acidity cuts through richer bites, lifts lighter dishes, and generally makes whatever you’re eating feel more dialled in. If you’re bored of bland whites, this one brings focus, citrus, minerality, and a clean, dry line.

Batasiolo is based in Piedmont and is best known for its serious reds, which is exactly why their Gavi is such a fun buy. They know structure, balance, and how to keep flavours clear instead of muddy. You can taste that same “we know what we’re doing” energy here, just in a fresher, whiter direction.

Pour it when you want a white wine that feels refreshing but not forgettable. It’s a clean, classic Gavi profile with enough detail to keep you interested, and enough brightness to keep you coming back.

Fun Fact: Batasiolo is one of the historic producers tied to Piedmont’s big-name wines (especially Barolo), so drinking their Gavi is basically seeing the region’s “serious wine” brain applied to a crisp, coastal-feeling white.
