Description

Cascina del Melo Gavi DOCG

Cascina del Melo Gavi is a fresh and citrusy Gavi; with some warmer fruity notes and minerality. Very drinkable on its own or with all sorts of vegetable dishes. The very natural way in which this Gavi is made really shows through with its intense mineral and fruit flavours. Almost green in colour its intense aroma is of elderflowers; citrus and toffee. Dry full and soft in the mouth with a delicious, vital, citrus flavour.

In the early autumn the Cortese grapes are handpicked, de-stemmed, delicately pressed and the skins removed. Temperature controlled fermentation follows using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tank. The Gavi wines are left on their lees for 6 months imparting flavour and finesse. At Cascina del Melo the wine is then matured for a further 3 months in tanks before finally bottled.
