Gavi DOCG  2022  VARIETIES  Cortese  DESCRIPTION  A wine that comes from the Cortese di Gavi. One of the great historical  and traditional vine of the lower Piedmont.  The delay in the start of the growing season, caused by the lack of rain  during the winter, was completely recovered during the spring months,  characterized by normal temperatures. Rainfall was also scarce in June  and July, but the situation normalized thanks to some beneficial  thunderstorms and rain in August, which, together with lower  temperatures, invigorated the vegetation, leading to good ripening, as  well as excellent quality.  Brilliant straw yellow colour with green and gold highlights. On the nose,  hints of lime blossom, citrus fruits and golden apple blend perfectly in an  intense and fresh bouquet. In the mouth, the softness is well balanced by  a hint of acidity that lends freshness to the finish. Good persistence..  Excellent wine as an aperitif but also particularly suitable with starters and  first courses based on fish.  TECHNICALNOTES  FORMATI DISPONIBILI:  0,375 l. – 0,75 l .  Soil: calcareous-clay-loam  Trellising System: Guyot  Vine Density: 4500 vines/ha.  Hectar Yield: 95 q/ha.  Fermentation: in temperature-controlled (16-18°C) stainless steel tanks.  Alcohol: 13%  Suggested serving temperature : 10-12°C  First vintage produced: 1995
