Gavi 2023
WINE OVERVIEW

Giacosa Fratelli is a 5th-generation family-run, Piedmont winery founded in 1895 by sharecropper Giuseppe Giacosa, who bought their Neive winery after winning the Italian lottery. The family farms 50 hectares of vines across Piedmont including Monforte d’Alba and Castiglione Falletto in Barolo and Neive in Barbaresco. The family, including next generation twin brothers Mauro and Alessandro, deeply believe in reducing their consumption and carbon emissions. They work sustainably in the vineyard and winery - soon to be a zero emissions facility - to preserve the terroir and history of these traditional Piemonte wines.

Tasting Notes

A fresh, light and dry white with a full and harmonious body. Notes of apples and white flowers. With moderate ageing, this wine evolves in an interesting manner.

Food Pairing

Ideal with starters, fish and shellfish.

Tech Details

The Gavi territory is in the province of Alessandria, in the south-western part of Piedmont, on the border with Liguria. The hills alternate with steep valleys enriching the landscape and making it the perfect state for the creation of the white wine symbolic of the area, Gavi. The Gavi territory is mainly hilly, with uplands rich in red oil as a result of the clayish marl of that area. Organically produced. Fermentation in stainless steel with very little aging. The wine is released just a few months after harvest.
