Description
”PRODUCTION AREA Grown at the Principessa Gavia single vineyard estate, located in the Classic Gavi region of Novi Ligure.METHOD OF PRODUCTION Following a rigorous selection of Cortese grapes and vinified using the latest winemaking techniques, the clean must is gently pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature of 18 C for 20 days.THE WINEMAKER COMMENT Cortese di Gavi is an historical grape variety of the lower Piedmont Region. Principessa Gavia is made from our own estate-grown grapes. Thanks to the soft pressing and the stainless steel fermentation at controlled low temperatures always below 18C, its typical delicate aromas and crisp flavours are enhanced.METHOD OF PRODUCTION Soft pressing of the grapes centigrade followed by fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before it isclarified.SEASONAL OUTCOME The water reserves, accumulated during a mild winter, determined an early vegetative growth, characterized by a spring that helped the phenologic phases. A quite warm summer has been mitigated by rainfalls by the second half of August, which helped a great maturation of the grapes, 10 days earlier than the previous year. Thus we had scented white wines, with the right balance of acidity, alcoholic content, quality and freshness, and harmonic red wines, with a solid structure, with complex perfumes and long aging potential.” – Vigne Regali Banfi
