Full tasting note and wine making �/h2>

For the Gavi la Battistina the winemaking process is undertaken at Araldica’s winery Azienda Agricola La Battistina, which has a storage capacity of 3,000 hectolitres in stainless steel tanks. The hand harvested grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and subjected to a temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine remains in contact with the lees for 3 months before being fined, filtered and bottled.

The La Battistina estate consists of 26ha of mature vineyard, including 5ha in Gavi del Comune di Gavi. The property was acquired by leading Piemonte producer Araldica in 2002, establishing their reputation as a Gavi specialist, with the largest vineyard holdings in the region.

The Producer �/h2>

La Battistina is renowned as among the best sites in Gavi. The unique combination of limestone and clay soil allows full ripening of the local Cortese grape, which â€?together with vines of average age 35 years â€?gives complexity and weight to what is one of Italy’s most fashionable white wines. The estate is divided into distinct areas producing very different wines. The majority of grapes go to produce the unoaked ‘La Battistinaâ€? while ‘Nuovo Quadroâ€?comes from a small, plot at the foot of the Battistina hill which lies within the Comune di Gavi sub-zone.
