From the moment we first tasted this rippin' crisp, clean, Italian white it has been our "go to" house favorite! Poured in the restuarant, featured in tastings, dinners, pairings and flights, it has developed a huge following - and for good reason! Vintage after vintage this small cooperative created in the 1950s by a group of 83 dedicated small family grapegrowers has turned our delicious, citrus tinged, racy, classic Gavi.
It is 100% Cortese, grown in the shadow of “Il Forte,” the iconic fortress that towers over the region’s namesake village. Cool temperature fermentation for 20 days, aging in steel through the winter months. Bright, balanced, aromatic, fruity wine. Floral aromas, with delicate scents of lemon, green apple, honey; notes of almonds in the finish. Perfecto!
Produttori del Gavi’s origins trace back to 1951 when 83 families banded together to combine their strengths into a cooperative. The group is essentially made up of these same growers to this day, with just twelve more being admitted to the group since inception. The vineyards of member/growers are spread all over the Gavi DOC territory in 11 municipalities covering 200 hectares of land from Tassarolo to Bosio; such coverage allows the production of various “Cru” bottlings.
The soil through this zone is heterogeneous and varied and in this way the Cortese grape expresses many different characteristics. Visit Produttori’s growers and you’ll see plenty diversity, from stark white soils made of tuff and limestone due to the marine origins of the area, to tomato colored soils made of clay and rich in minerals due to the alluvial origins of some areas, especially around San Cristoforo.
Crisp, clean and fresh with citrus tinge fruit and beautiful acidity, all for a crazy price. Perfect summer white, with salads, seafood, sushi, crudo, ceviche and more! Cheers! Chris
