Tasting Notes
This crisp white wine shows incredible mineral, zesty citrus and floral notes, with a hint of spice. Prominent mineral characters linger on the deliciously mouth watering finish.
About
Vineyards: On the hills near Gavi, not far from the Ligurian Sea, the Cortese grapes are grown, producing this Gavi D.O.C.G. Cortese is a white grape variety grown in the Alessandria area, especially on the hillsides surrounding the town of Gavi. This variety is not very robust and requires good climatic conditions in order to ripen properly. In the Alessandria area, it has found the essential conditions to produce excellent results. The soils are rich in marls and fossils, providing a unique terroir for this unique wine.
Winemaking: The grapes were gently pressed prior to the fermentation, which took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 to 20°C and lasted 10 days. The wine was left to rest in tank on its fine lees for six months, which added texture and complexity, prior to being bottled.
