Castello di Tassarolo, Cortese, Gavi "Orsola" Piedmont, Italy 2023

100% Cortese di Gavi

The Tassarolo Orsola Gavi is elegant and attention-worthy, just like the lady on the label. Straw-yellow color with green highlights, intense floral nose of orange blossom and camomille. Fresh, fragrant, light, lively and persistent.

Grapes are grown on marl and silty-clay soil, 300 meters above sea level. The grapes for this wine come from a selection of various vineyards, all estate-owned and biodynamic- and organic-certified.

The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates in order to keep the grapes as intact as possible. The grapes are then immediately pressed in a pneumatic press, and the best part of the must is transferred to temperature-controlled vats for the start of the alcoholic fermentation, using only indigenous yeast. The wine is fined (vegan-friendly), filtered and a small amount of sulfur is added before bottling.
