Lively, structured whites with firm acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and chalky mineral notes. Typically saline finish. The absolute star of Gavi DOCG (Cortese di Gavi), one of Italy's great whites, also made as sparkling wines and aged cuvées. Present in Colli Tortonesi DOC and Lombardy. Native Piedmontese grape from the southeast, with a long tradition of noble whites.

The wine region of Cahors

Historic cradle of Malbec, the "black wine" of South-West France: signature Côt (≥70%) reigns in reds — dark-hued with black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry), plum, violet and a liquorice touch, cedar and cocoa on ageing, structured tannins and great cellaring aptitude. Supple Merlot softens, dense Tannat optional. AOC (1971), ~4,000 ha across three alluvial terraces of the Lot and limestone causses, Aquitaine-southern climate, ageing 8-15 years.

The wine region of South West

French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
