DESCRIPTION
An excellent example of Piedmont's classic white wine from a small, dedicated producer.
The lowdown:
Gavi is a true Italian classic, starring on the winelists of many fish restaurants on the Ligurian coast near to where the wine is made. This fresh and floral white is made from the Cortese di Gavi grape, as it's know in the area, taking its name from the region's main white wine producing town of Gavi. This particular example hails from the hilly slopes of Tassarolo to the north of the region, where the Cortese thrives. It has a wonderfully complex nose and palate of toasted almonds with hints of aplle and sage. While remaining refreshingly light there's a touch of creaminess to the body which gives extra interest.
When to drink:
As well as being a natural seafood partner the extra touch of weight makes it great to drink by itself.
PRODUCER
Azienda Agricola Cinzia Bergaglio
The vineyards of the Azienda Agricola Bergaglio Cinzia are located in the municipalities of Tassarolo and Gavi.
The company has been making wine for several years and, by joining a European regulation, guarantees the ecological processing of the land. They use products with a low environmental impact and increasingly advanced machinery.
The objective of obtaining a quality product is pursued through a pruning with few shoots, green harvesting at the end of July and the particular attention they pay to pressing, which they carry out using a horizontal press with a soft pressing of the grapes.
Their agronomist is Dr. Daniele Eberle
Their oenologist is Dr. Andrea Buzio.
To all this they add their experience and little secrets passed on from generation to generation.
They pay particular attention to respecting nature and the environmental impact of our activity. For them it is of primary importance to obtain quality grapes with the least possible use of chemical substances. Their vineyards are fertilized with green manure: they cultivate among the rows of their grapes a mix of herbs and various vegetables that help to fertilize the soil without using chemical fertilizers.
