Ageing: After a light low temerature fermentation in stainless steel, the Gavi di Gavi is then aged for 18 months in Slovonian oak.
Sensory analysis: Intense nose of peach, fresh almonds and melon. I have no idea about the miasma of Gavi labelings, Gavi di Gavi, Gavi dei Gavi, Cortese di Gavi, Gavi del Comune di Gavi! All I know is this is a sensational wine! This wonderfully delicate white wine has structure, it has depth, it has length, balance, it has complexity! The wine has a bit of a chalky grip that gives the wine balance, adds a mineral note, the fruit is mature but not overripe, hints of pear, nutmeg and tarragon are coupled with a verve that just makes this wine sing.
Informations: Gavi is produced in the Alto Monferrato, a vitivinicultural zone situated in the southern part of the province of Alessandria. A total of 59 communes are involved in its output in a district that is predominantly hilly. Acqui, Ovada and Gavi are the best-known communities in its production zone.
