| Wine list | Gavi |
One of the most prestigious labels of the house Marchesi di Barolo. Vinified with 100% pure Cortese grapes grown within the business areas in the DOCG zone of Gavi The vinification provides, to keep intact and enhance the characteristics of the wine, all grape processing operations are carried out within the Municipality of Gavi. The grapes are quickly brought into the cellar perfectly intact, where it proceeds with a soft, delicate pressing and the must obtained is placed to ferment, at low temperature, in thermo-conditioned steel tanks. The wine is then stored in steel or vitrified cement tanks to preserve the typical fresh and fragrant aromas. The prolonged stay on the lees makes this wine long-lived, capable of evolving after uncorking and still in the glass.
