Vintage 2024
The year 2024 will be remembered as one of the rainiest in recent years. Following a mild winter with good water reserves, spring saw rapid vegetation growth. The rest of the season was characterized by abundant rainfall and balanced temperatures. The harvest took place in more traditional times and was interrupted by heavy rains, requiring special attention for the later-ripening grapes. Our harvest began on August 19 with Alta Langa and concluded on October 13 with Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo.

Winemaking Information
PRE-FERMENTATION PROCEDURES: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and reduce considerably the use of sulphur and softly pressed.
This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
FERMENTATION PROCESS: The grape juice is obtained by soft pressing the whole clusters in an inert environment (nitrogen). The must is cooled before fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature.
BOTTLE REFINEMENT: GRIFO DEL QUARTARO GAVI DI GAVI is refined only in bottle for about 3 months before realising.
The difference is...
GRIFO DEL QUARTARO GAVI del comune DI GAVI is produced to preserve the freshness and the fragrance provided by the vineyards of the village of Gavi, heart of the appellation.
Furthermore, the relevant difference between the temperatures of the day and the night typical of that area, enhances the special flowered aroma of the wine.
Amazing white from Piemonte enjoyable for a very long time.
