Gavi DOCG

Variety: Cortese 100%.

Vineyard: A great historic Piedmontese white wine, whose grapes come from an area recognized for outstanding Cortese production since 1856. The vineyards are located in the Gavi area, which includes only 11 municipalities within the Province of Alessandria. The soils are mainly composed of clay marls.

Vinification: The grapes are pressed on the evening of harvest and transferred to stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation then begins at a controlled temperature of 15–16°C, maintained for about 15 days to preserve the wine’s delicate aromas. A short period of aging in stainless steel follows, until bottling, which generally takes place in early spring.

Pairings: Ideal with battered zucchini flowers, oven-roasted guinea fowl, or ricotta and scampi ravioli.
