Il Poggio di Gavi 2021
100% Cortese from 20-year-old vines, in clay and marl soils, planted at 330 meters. Hand harvested. Fermentation with natural yeast takes place in stainless steel for normally no longer than 12 days. The wine is filtered once before bottling.
Nose: Expect a refreshing burst of citrus fruits like lemon, grapefruit, and lime.
Palate: On the taste buds, Il Poggio di Gavi is described as dry and medium-bodied with crisp acidity. The citrus and stone fruit flavors come through again, sometimes accompanied by a touch of nuttiness. The finish is reported to be long and mineral, leaving a refreshing feeling.
Finish: The flavor lingers harmoniously. Hints of stone fruits like white peach and apple.
Pairing
Perfectly complements any light and fresh seafood dishes. Grilled fish like halibut, sea bass, or snapper would be fantastic.
Consider shellfish options like oysters, clams, mussels, or shrimp. Their briny flavors can be balanced by the wine's minerality.
Roasted chicken or turkey with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary would also be a great match.
Il Poggio di Gavi 2021
The story of “Il Poggio” is simply the transformation of a grandfather’s relaxing pastime into a young woman’s passion and lifework. The estate was purchased in 1919 as a family hunting reserve and passed to daughter Franca Odone, who at one time worked in Milan in the furniture business. With the help of oenologists, Gaspare Buscemi land was cleared for vines and wine production began in 1976.
In 2003 the baton was passed to Franca’s daughter Francesca who, after some time working in real estate caught the family winemaking bug. Poggio extends her business savvy and deep commitment to family tradition to the winery, ensuring the wines remain focused and an homage to the land. In 2013 work was finished on a tiny B&B on the highest point of the property surrounding guests with the serenity of vines and forests.
The hills of Rovereto in the heart of the Gavi DOGC are rich with sandy and clay soils that impart remarkable attributes to the ancient Cortese grape. Through the continued vineyard management by Buscemi, the 3 hectares of Guyot trained vines yield small quantities of high-quality wine.
