RAGGIO GAVI 2019

Descriere

Raggio Gavi is a dry white wine. It has a straw-yellow color with pale green reflections. It is made exclusively from Cortese grapes grown within the municipality of Gavi on a typical sandy soil rich in precious minerals. The wine first ages between 4 and 6 months in stainless steel tanks which exalt the aromatic characteristics. Then, it ages in the bottle for about 4 months. The result is an extremely pleasant wine, with intense aromas, tasty flavors, and a crispy acidity.

We carry out a sustainable viticulture, respectful of the environment. This wine is actually pesticide free (analysis explicitly reported on the label).
