✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic Fontanafredda estate, founded in 1858 by King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy as a romantic gift for his beloved mistress, this Gavi represents the elegant white wine heritage of southern Piedmont. Crafted entirely from the indigenous Cortese grape grown in the mineral-rich, clay-marly soils of the Gavi appellation, the wine benefits from a unique microclimate where alpine breezes meet maritime winds blowing from the nearby Ligurian Sea. Fontanafredda vinifies this classic white in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine, vibrant character. The resulting wine is celebrated for its delicate aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, and citrus, underpinned by a distinctive flinty minerality and a refreshing, clean finish that captures the essence of the Piedmontese hills.
