The perfect location for Gavi Gavi Il Forte

Produttori del Gavi is a leading cooperative of around 100 small winegrowers. Their vineyards cover a total of 200 hectares in 11 different municipalities. And they're all on the same page. Everything revolves around passionate viticulture, collaboration, high quality, and upholding the Gavi reputation. The vineyards where the Cortese grape for this Gavi Il Forte is planted are situated at an altitude of 200 to 300 meters. The 30-year-old vines are deeply rooted in red clay soil. Combined with the ideal climate and the refreshing sea breeze, the grapes ripen perfectly. And at that precise moment, they are harvested. This is done entirely by hand, after which they are immediately transported to the winery. Fermentation follows, lasting 20 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 12 degrees Celsius. After this, the wine is aged on the lees for another three months, which softens the wine and gives it additional structure.
