Description

Araldica is widely regarded as Piemonte’s most forward-thinking producer, working with 230 grower to source quality grapes from around 690ha of vineyards. They are meticulous about how the grapes are grown, they are sustainable and eco-compatible, basically they treat the land well which results in healthier grapes and more delicious wines.

From a province in northwest Italy in the Piemonte region, Gavi is actually quite cool climatically. Predominantly grown on north-facing hilside slopes the wines are crisp, light, fresh and delicate.

This beautiful example has appealing aromas of citrus fruit and white flowers with a touch of white spice. The palate has more citrus characters with hints of orchard and stone fruits. Crisp, refreshing acidity balances underlying minerality. A great example of one of Italy’s most famous white wines.
