Pairs well with shellfish, seafood pasta, and grilled seafood. Serve at 10°C (50°F). |

In addition to being a perfect wine for the entire meal, it pairs well with dry cookies and, if aged, with spicy cheeses. Serve at 8 - 10°C (46.4 - 50°F). |

| 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.

Brilliant straw yellow with green highlights, persistent grapefruit and exotic fruit fragrance. Fine, elegant wine with dry, long and persistent flavor that confirms to the palate the aromas revealed to the nose.
Serve as aperitif at 8°-10°C (46.4°-60°F), or with seafood hors d'oeuvres, soups, slightly spicy sauces and grilled seafood. It's perfect with shellfish and excellent with Aragosta alla Catalana or all'Alghese (Lobster Catalan-Style or Alghero-Style). |

The Vermentino grapes used to make this wine are picked in the cool morning hours. After pressing, the must is slightly clarified, then left to ferment in iron vats, where it is refined for five more months before being bottled.
In addition to making a good aperitif wine, the Bianco D'Elisa pairs well seafood and shellfish and vegetarian dishes, as well as soups.

The winemaking applies the 'in bianco', that is, 'without skin' method.
The grapes are harvested by hand and put in small cases. The bunches are then laid delicately on a conveyor belt that takes them to the destemmer, where the grapes are separated from the stems. the clean grapes are then directed to a pneumatic press where they are crushed.
The juice is immediately cooled down and, after 24 hours, decanted at controlled temperature (55.4 - 57.2°F, or 13 - 14°C) then allowed to ferment with selected yeasts, keeping the temperature under control during the whole process.
The must may rest for a few weeks 'Sur Lie' (with yeast) before being decanted. This method enhances the typical characteristic perfumes of the grape.
The color is straw yellow with green highlights. The scent is reminiscent of elder tree and black locust flowers. To the palate it is harmonic and velvety, vaguely reminiscent of almond.
Pairs well with hors d'oeuvres, soup, pasta, boiled meat and seafood-based recipes, especially with boiled fish. |
