Toledana Gavi

It’s located in Gavi, the magic land for the production of Gavi , the most renowned white wine from Piedmont. Cortese has been grown for the production of Gavi at this site for over 180 years.

Wine Production

After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed, gently pressed, and the juice is fermented without skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. It is then matured in stainless steel tanks and bottled just a few months after the harvest in order to preserve its freshness.

Tasting Notes

Bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections, a delicate nose with hints of fresh fruit and white flowers, citrus and bitter almond notes that are enriched by complexity and ageing. Dry and full bodied on the palate, the wine is pleasant, fully integrated, sophisticated and refined.

Food Pairing

La Toledana Gavi di Gavi can be served as an aperitif, as well as an accompaniment to the best fish dishes, spaghetti and pasta with light sauces, white meats, and goat cheeses.
