The year was marked by a colder winter than the previous one with two snow events and heavy rains which made up for the water deficit of the previous year. The spring was quite rainy, a factor that required great attention to avoid the establishment of plant diseases. The month of July had some very strong storms with uneven consequences. The beginning of August was characterized by intense heat without having repercussions on the water stress of the plants. The harvest began on August 16th, with the grapes used for the Alta Langa, to continue with the white grape varieties harvested in September and the red grape varieties harvested in late October.

PRE-FERMENTATION PROCEDURES: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and reduce considerably the use of sulphur and softly pressed.
This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
FERMENTATION PROCESS: The grape juice is obtained by soft pressing the whole clusters in an inert environment (nitrogen). The must is cooled before fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature.
BOTTLE REFINEMENT: GRIFO DEL QUARTARO GAVI DI GAVI is refined only in bottle for about 3 months before realising.
GRIFO DEL QUARTARO GAVI del comune DI GAVI is produced to preserve the freshness and the fragrance provided by the vineyards of the village of Gavi, heart of the appellation.
Furthermore, the relevant difference between the temperatures of the day and the night typical of that area, enhances the special flowered aroma of the wine.
Amazing white from Piemonte enjoyable for a very long time.
