Produttori del Gavi Mille 951 Gavi di Gavi

Along the hills of Gavi, Produttori del Gavi overlooks the historic Gavi fortress and has been making wine for over 65 years.

With 220 hectares, the 95 farmers forming this cooperative boast the biggest vineyard holding of Gavi DOCG, containing a number of organically certified vineyards as well as vines up to 90 years old. Situated 40 kilometres from the Ligurian Sea, crossed by the Lemme River near the Ligurian Apennines, Produttori del Gavi lies within the Province of Alessandria, a territory that is uniquely characterised by poor calcareous white soils; ideal for growing the native Cortese grape. With a golden berry, perfumed by the brackish wind delivered from the sea, these wines are superbly lean and with great finesse. Today, its members are led by oenologist Andrea Pancotti.

A nose is full of acacia flowers, broom, pear, passion fruit and pineapple. The mouthfeel is sapid, long, fresh and elegant. Lovely fresh acidity.
