  • Produttori del Gavi make this wine from 100% Cortese grapes grown on mature vines by the 95 farmers forming this cooperative which forms the biggest vineyard holding of Gavi DOCG
  • The native Cortese grape, a golden berry, perfumed by the brackish wind delivered from the sea, these wines are superbly lean and with great finesse.
  • Refreshing, elegant and long in the finish. Delicate aromas of citrus fruits, floral notes and roasted almond, with flavours of lemon and stone fruits

Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow, with a classic green tint. This Gavi recalls hints of acacia flowers, pear, passion fruit and pineapple. The mouth feel is sapid, long, fresh and elegant. Light weight and with good acidity. This wine is wonderfully versatile.

About

The vineyards are 200-300 meters above sea level and consist of 30 year old Guyot cultivated vines growing in the predominantly red clay-based alluvial soils.

The grapes are usually harvested in mid september.

The grapes undergo temperature controlled vinification at 12 degrees C for 20 days and are then refined on the lees for 3 months in stainless steel.

The wine is then further refined in the bottle for a month. No oak aging takes place.

Ideal with...

Light first courses, fish dishes, fresh cheeses and slightly spicy. This wine is great served as an aperitif.
