Type of Closure: Natural Cork Current Vintage: 2020 Producer: ASCHERI MATTEO AZIENDA AGRICOLA Grape Variety: Cortese Winemaker: GIULIANO BEDINO Agent: Enotria & Coe Vinification Details: Our Gavi comes from a vineyard located in the commune of Gavi. Cortese bunches are harvested in the second half of September/begin of October and are fermented in stainless steel tanks for 2 weeks at a temperature of 20°/21° After the fermentation the wine stays on the lees until springtime and then it's bottled. History: At present our cellars are the only ones left which can boast such an ancient and beautiful heritage. The years from the early 20th century to our days have been characterized by a steady effort to increase the value of our products. With a view to expanding our estates, we have subsequently added to the original La Morra Vineyards; the estates of Serralunga d'Alba, Verduno, Gavi, planted with traditional grapes and Bra, with an experimental vineyard using not native grapes (Syrah and Viognier). Regional Information: As far as the climate is concerned, long and harsh winters, with usual under-zero temperature during the night and good amount of snow, are alternated by long and warm summers with temperature often upper than 30 degrees, with mite temperatures and rains usually during springtime and late autumn. Moreover, it's the difference of the temperatures between day and night, that takes place during the maturation period, that it's perfect for the native varieties, in particular for Nebbiolo and Cortese grape.
