Gavi is made from 100% Cortese grapes, whose must ferments and matures in stainless steel: the result is a fragrant, intense and harmonious wine. It comes from the highest designation of origin in winemaking terms, the DOCG Gavi del Piemonte, in Mombaruzzo in the province of Asti. The winemaking process involves the gentle crushing and pressing of the grapes, with the must immediately separated from the skins. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 12°C to a maximum of 14°C. Finally, the wine is aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks.
