Grown at the Principessa Gavia Single vineyard estate,
located in the classic Gavi region of Novi Ligure.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Cortese 100%
PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE
The clean must from the first pressing
is fermented off the skins at a controlled temperature of 18° C
and then cooled at 0° C during the last part of the alcoholic
fermentation that takes place in stainless steel tanks for two weeks.
Storage at low temperatures conveys a slight natural effervescence to the wine.
DESCRIPTION
Color: pale straw.
Bouquet: intense, fruit-forward, with hints of pineapple and apple.
Taste: crisp with gentle acidity and slightly bitter, balanced finish.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
A unique expression of the Cortese
di Gavi grape variety. This particular pétillant character of this wine is achieved
during the vinification of our elected and ripest Cortese grapes,
with the highest sugar content.
FOOD PAIRINGS
An aperitif wine, excellent with hors d’oeuvres and fish dishes in general.
It pairs particularly well with shellfish.
