I am currently reviewing the 2024 Marchesi Di Barlo, Gavi which is made from the Cortese grape. The wine cost $15.99 and I rate it at 94 cellar worthy points.

I don't know if you have ever heard of the Gundlach Bundschu Winery or not but you must track this wine down and enjoy it. If you love serious Cabs, this is a wine you NEED to try.
