2022 La Raia ‘Pleo’ Gavi D.O.C.G.

$49.00
/
Tax included.

Varietal: Cortese
Region: Piemonte, IT
Winemaker: Clara Milani

This delicious Cortese is impossible not to enjoy. Finely balanced acidity, flavours of lemon and jasmine softened by a hint of bread dough and a creamy finish, thanks to a few months on lees prior to bottling. Equally at home at a summer picnic or formal soiree, we’ll be drinking ours pre-dinner with salted almonds, olives or smoked kingfish.

Calcareous and clayish soils, 400m altitude with a south-east-west exposure. In keeping with the farm’s biodynamic principles, the vines are farmed without any use of chemicals. Grapes are grown in ideal conditions for Cortese – good balance of sugar and acidity making this a classic Gavi - an easy drinking, yet very sophisticated white wine.
