Gavi D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Madonnina

The Cortese grapes for the production of Gavi Riserva vineyard Madonnina benefits from great thermic ventilation and an ideal microclimate, thanks to its natural exposure. The yield does not go over 6,5 tonnes per hectare. During maturation phase grapes are selected in the vineyard, allowing to obtain good alcohol content.

Grapes are harvested and handpicked towards the end of September. After selection, grapes are destemmed and delicately pressed. The must obtained is then decanted and ferments at low controlled temperature without the addition of oenological additives. Approximately 25 days later, when the fermentation is completed, the wine is poured into another stainless steel tank, where it remains for 6 months, as required by the Gavi Docg production regulations. The Gavi Docg Riserva is then bottled and continues refinement for another six months inside the bottle, before being released to the market. This refinement procedure results in a long-lasting and pleasant wine to drink.
