Vintage 2022

The vintage is one of the hottest and driest ever: during the winter there was an extraordinary shortage of rainfall, and the climate was mild followed by a period marked by good weather, with no significant rain for over 180 days. In July the vines adjusted on their own to the low availability of water, showing smaller clusters. Picking began as early as the end of August with the grapes used for making sparkling wines, and continued immediately afterwards with the white wine varieties. The harvest of Nebbiolo grapes began around mid-September. The quality was noticeably excellent with heathy grapes although a lower yield-per-hectare.

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. A part is pressed and macerated in the press at cool temperature for one night.

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: Monterotondo is refined on its own lees in stainless steel tanks for 6-7 months and then in the bottle.

The difference is...

Monterotondo Gavi del Comune di Gavi, from the municipality of GAVI, thanks to the particular “terroir” characterized by a chalky-sulphurous soil and the microclimate, represents the best expression of the Cortese grape that reaches unique levels of complexity and elegance. This wine will also surprise you with its longevity.
