Description
Araldica Gavi La Battistina, Piedmont, Italy, 2024
Grape: 100% Cortese, sustainable farming, unoaked
Producer Tasting Note:
Aromatic, zesty nose with notes of apple, lime and white flower. The wine has juicy apple and lemon characters, and is textural with attractive minerality. The finish is crisp and incisive with zesty, mouthwatering fruit.
Region: La Battistina, situated in the north west region of Piemonte, is an estate situated around the town of Gavi, and considered one of the best sites in the area. The vineyards are south facing and the soil, chalky and mineral, allows excellent drainage and full ripening of the Cortese grapes. The 35 year old vines are trained Piemonte style on low Guyot trellis, planted with 4,000 - 4,500 vines per hectare and yielding 66 hl/ha.
Winemaking: The whole process of winemaking is undertaken at Araldica's winery, Azienda Agricola La Battistina, in stainless steel tanks. The hand harvested grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and subjected to a temperature controlled fermentation. The wine remains in contact with the lees for 4 months before being fined, filtered and bottled.
Food Match: Delicious with appetisers and light fish courses.
