Grapes for the Gavi di Gavi are sourced from sandy-soiled vineyards with a high content of arenaceous marl, planted at 200-300 asl. Vineyards are South-East and South-West facing, and planted at 4,400 vines per ha. This exquisite Gavi di Gavi exemplifies Piedmont's remarkable terroir, expressing the distinctive character of the Cortese grape grown in these historic vineyards. The wine presents with crystalline brilliance in the glass, offering delicate aromas of white flowers. Ample nose, with an intense bouquet featuring floral notes, vanilla, lemon and apples.
