Produttori del Gavi, Il forte Gavi

Along the hills of Gavi, Produttori del Gavi overlooks the historic Gavi fortress and has been making wine for over 65 years. With 220 hectares, the 95 farmers forming this cooperative boast the biggest vineyard holding of Gavi DOCG, containing a number of organically certified vineyards as well as vines up to 90 years old. Situated 40 kilometres from the Ligurian Sea, crossed by the Lemme River near the Ligurian Apennines, Produttori del Gavi lies within the Province of Alessandria, a territory that is uniquely characterised by poor calcareous white soils; ideal for growing the native Cortese grape.

Straw yellow colour, on the nose, pear scents are supported by peach, apricot and yellow plum. This is fresh, sapid, easy to drink with a mildly almond finish. Harmonious and balanced. This wine can be served as an aperitif, recommended with light first courses and fish dishes.
