Gavi is one of the most fashionable white wine regions in Italy, and the Cortese grape rules. The DOCG of Gavi del commune di Gavi lies on chalky soil and provides the perfect terroir for this grape, producing minerally citrus wines with elegance and finesse. Bergaglio’ s ‘La Minaia’ vineyards lie within this commune and it is important not to confuse the wines with the generally inferior basic Gavi. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and left to rest in bottle before being released ready to drink.
