Vinchio Vaglio deliver an honest expression of Cortese, with aromas of summer flowers and hay, layered with lightly aromatic and tropical notes. On the palate the wine is delicate, vibrant with a slight savoury twist and very pleasing finish.
Cortese, the grape famously used in Gavi di Gavi, is a gentle and delicate wine, and as such the wine makers have aged the wine in steel for 4 months, avoiding oak, to preserve these important traits.
About
Vineyards: Produced from 100% Cortese, an indigenous white grape variety that has been grown on the hills of Alto Monferrato, producing light, easy-drinking wines for millennia. The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning and delivered immediately to the winery. The name of this wine comes from the word ‘Mun d’la crus’ which was mentioned in the land register of Vinchio dating back to 1730. The legend tells that a large cross was erected here facing the Bricco dei Saraceni to commemorate the site of a great battle, the victory of which led to celebrations which required copious amounts of a light-bodied wine, which still kept the drinkers relatively lucid!
Winemaking: The grapes are softly pressed and the clear must is separated and transferred to stainless steel tank for 20 days where alcoholic fermentation takes place between 16 to 18 °C. The wine then matures on the lees with batonnage for nearly one month, followed by a clarification before being returned to tank for a further 4 months. No MLF. The wine is bottled in early spring and released one month later.
