GAVI DOCG
Grape Variety
CORTESE 100%
From grapes to wine During harvest the grapes are selected for optimum ripeness and then picked by hand to ensure that only the finest fruit arrives at the cellar. The grapes are lightly pressed and after between 24 and 48 hours the juice is poured into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. By carefully controlling all aspects of the fermentation process we ensure that the wine has stability with minimal use of sulphur dioxide. The grape characteristics are fully developed and the wine exhibits those aromas and flavours so typical of the Gavi Denomination including the ability to develop complexity with time.
Tasting notesBright appearance with a lemon citrus aroma, well integrated fruit flavours and a long finish. Modest bottle ageing brings a softening acidity and a balancing minerality.
Suggested food pairings
Optimal serving temperature is between 10 and 12 °C. Our Gavi is an ideal aperitif and complements appetisers of oysters, seafood, cured meats and vegetables. A particularly good combination is the elegant and delicately flavoured "Risotto al Gavi". The wine is traditionally served with fish, omelettes and other light dishes often accompanied by "focaccia" (Italian flat bread).
