    Straw yellow, with a classic green tint. This Gavi recalls hints of acacia flowers, pear, passion fruit and pineapple. The mouth feel is sapid, long, fresh and elegant. Light weight and with good acidity. This wine is wonderfully versatile.

    Producer Profile

    Situated 40km from the Ligurian Sea, within the province of Alessandria Produttori del Gavi overlooks the historic Gavi fortress and has been making wine for over 65 years.

    With 220ha between them, the 95 farmers in this co-operative boast the largest vineyard holding in Gavi DOCG, which contains a number of organically certified vineyards as well as vines up to 90 years old. Today, its members are led by oenologist Andrea Pancotti. The local terroir is characterized by thin, calcareous white soils that have proved ideal for growing the native Cortese grape. Perfumed by the brackish wind that blows in from the sea, these wines are superbly lean and with great finesse.
