THE VINEYARD
The Vineyards are in the hills in the municipality of Tassarolo. It is a fine and delicate wine, not at all banal, with floral (hawthorn and lily of the valley) and fruity (banana) aromas, accompanied by citrus, hay, and mint notes.
It has a greatly balanced palate with a finish full of fruity notes and well balanced by a pleasant freshness: the classic wine that would be good on the table every day.
It should be served at ten °C in tulip-shaped glasses. The vineyards, also owned, are located in the municipality of Tassarolo and are so named because of a brick kiln that once existed in their place. This aspect also explains the mainly clayey type of soil.
THE VINIFICATION
The grapes are immediately transferred to the winery, where they undergo a soft pressing to extract only the best part from the berries. Fermentation, at a controlled temperature, 18-20° C, to maintain the typical richness of Cortese di Gavi's aromas), goes on very slowly, even for 20 days. Bottling is done in February and March to allow the wine a minimum of bottle aging before release.
THE TASTING
It is delightful from the spring following the harvest but reaches its greatest enjoyment after a few months of bottle aging. It does not fear a few years in the bottle.
