The name refers to an ancient coin of the Genoese lords who once owned the vineyards around Gavi. Today, the Cortese grapes come from the heart of the appellation: the Comune di Gavi itself, where calcareous marl soils and pronounced day-night differences give the wine its characteristic freshness and floral aromas. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are cooled with carbon dioxide snow and pressed particularly gently. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel, followed by three months of bottle ageing.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections in the glass. The nose smells of wild flowers and almonds, as well as apple, pear and a hint of gooseberry. The typical salinity of Cortese is evident on the palate – crystalline, precise, with lively acidity and a final reminiscent of wet stone and citrus peel. A white wine like an aperitif by the Ligurian Sea. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with a sparkling reflex. Smells of crisp pears, elderflower syrup, star fruit and subtle hints of basil and sage. The palate is racy and savoury, with great expression and clear fruit, lingers on the palate for a long time, a great surprise!" Falstaff

"Steely aromas of lemon peel intertwine with a hint of jasmine blossom, revealing a restrained but precise character. The palate brightens with concentrated citrus flavours that dance across the tongue, driven by an energetic acidity, and finishes with an appealing saline kick." Wine Enthusiast
