Grape Profile: Cortese is known for its high natural acidity, citrus and pear fruit, floral lift, and pronounced mineral backbone. It produces wines that are linear, refined, and saline-driven, with subtle almond and stone notes developing with bottle age.
Region Profile: Gavi lies in southeastern Piedmont near the Ligurian coast, where limestone-marl soils, rolling hills, and cooling maritime breezes shape the style of the wines. The proximity to the Apennines and the sea creates wide diurnal shifts, preserving acidity and aromatic precision. It is one of Italy’s most noble white-wine terroirs.
