| Comments: |
This wine is called 'Pilin' to honor the grandfather of the current family estate manager, Marco, as this was the nickname by which he was known in Gavi.
The best, healthiest and ripest bunches are carefully selected from all the farm’s vineyards and placed in wooden trays, where they are left to partially dry for 30 to 40 days. This makes the wine suitable for vinification and ageing in barriques.
It reaches maturity in its third year, and maintains an even level of quality for many years. The winery began making this wine back in 1984, since then its quality has stood out for itself.

| Comments: |
The different compositions of the soil compared to the Gavi 'Fornaci', the age of the vines, types of clones, planting density and microclimate make this wine very different from the previous one. Comparative tasting clearly demonstrates how much terroir and vineyard work affects the wine.
Though the wine is very pleasant the summer after the harvest, it gets even better after a few months of refinement in the bottle, where it can be kept for several years without quality loss.

| Comments: |
Despite high production costs and low yield, this wine is produced from an over 80-year-old vineyard with outstanding traditional and genetic heritage. In addition, the particular soil composition and the vineyard's microclimate created by the surrounding woodlands, give this Gavi 'Vignavecchia' (Old Vineyard) very special organoleptic characteristics.
Although the wine is already very pleasant the summer after the harvest, it is at its most enjoyable after a year in the bottles. If it is properly stored it will maintain its characteristics for several years.
Prizes: Guida ai Migliori Vini d'Italia 2007 (2007 Guide to Italian Best Wines): 12th out of 100. "... one of the best Italian white wines for this vintage."
Brilliant, golden-yellow color with straw-yellow nuances. Intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas with initial hints of apple, plum and pear, which open into fuller aromas of hawthorn, lemon, pineapple, broom, peach and almond. To the palate it is agreeable and a confirmation of the nose: crisp in the mouth, with good body and intense flavor well-balanced by alcohol. The finish is persistent and reminiscent of apple, plum and pear.
It pairs well with seafood, pasta, risotto marinara (with vegetables and shellfish), cheese and egg dishes.

| Comments: |
Made with grapes from the 'Fornaci' (brick kiln) vineyard in the municipality of Tassarolo, explains the highly clayey nature of the soil. This is the first wine to be released each year at the beginning of April, and that is why it is considered the winery's 'calling card' for each specific vintage.
Very pleasant the spring after the harvest, but gets even better after a few months of refinement in the bottle, where it can be kept for several years without quality loss.

Ventisei means twenty six in Italian. That's because the grapes used to make this wine come from 26 rows comprising 3,200 vines, which produce an average of 4,800 kilograms (about 10,582 pounds) per year of superior Moscato d'Asti.
This traditional sparkling wine has a light golden yellow color and fragrant aroma typical of the grapes, reminiscent of peach blossom, acacia and honey. Sweet and fragrant to the palate, the wine keeps all its olfactory promises.
Excellent with cakes, pastries and cookies. The low alcohol content, makes it a perfect wine for social gatherings. |
