About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cortese fruit is grown in vineyards in Gavi, Piedmont, at a relatively low altitude. Sea breezes and moisture assist ripening.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, crushed and briefly macerated on their skins before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place traditionally in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for at least six months.
