Gavi di Gavi, I Moncalvi (75cl)

A fantastic Gavi di Gavi from grapes grown right in the heart of the Gavi appellation, in one of the most vocated area, the town of Rovereto, and is made from selected, hand picked Cortese grapes. This is a perfect example of what a Gavi di Gavi wine could and should be, refreshing, with a fruity nose with recognisable apple hints, elegant, full and lively, with plenty of flavour and a long mineral finish.

This Gavi di gavi is perfect with risotto dishes, white based pasta or as an aperitif.

The I Moncalvi winery is now run by Mauro, the current generation, and Mauro is very passionate about his wines. The vineyards, mainly Cortese used to make Gavi but also a bit of Barbera and Dolcetto, are located in the heart of the Gavi area, in the province of Alessandria, in Piedmont, and are between twenty and fifty years old and together with the location, produce wonderful, high quality wines different from the others in the area. Mauro is so devoted to making the best wines he can, that he only uses the very best grapes to produce them, the remaining are usually sold to nearby wineries.
