About Winery and Wines

The vineyard’s unique characteristics, as well as those of the local terrain, endow La Mesma Gavi with a myriad of distinctive, singular qualities. Hand-picking and careful selection ensure that only the best grapes are used and that same passionate care pervades every step of production, from harvest to soft pressing, to “in bianco” vinification at controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats. The resulting, limited production is distinguished by an elegant, fruity bouquet and a finely balanced, dry taste. The impact that this wine has on the senses reveals its fine qualities. An organoleptic analysis of La Mesma Gavi firstly offers us its delightful, straw colour, reinforced by the delicate aroma of fresh fruit, tapping on light notes of apricot and citrus. A subtle breath of wild flowers and aromatic herbs rounds out the delicate fragrance. This pleasantly aromatic Gavi, with its decidedly elegant finish, can develop in the bottle for several years.

La Mesma vineyards are located in Monterotondo and Tassarolo (Province of Alessandria), at the very heart of the Gavi DOCG region in Italy. Nestled in the peaceful, green countryside between Piedmont and Liguria, seemingly far from the sea, the region benefits considerably from coastal influences. The estate’s Gavi La Mesma DOCG production relies on twenty-five hectares of Cortese grape vines planted on southerly exposed hillsides at an altitude of about 300 metres, in fine medium-blend soil. Our family’s on-going quest for quality is inseparable from a deeply rooted respect for the environment. Our vineyard is divided into distinct sections, distinguishable by vine type, pedology, age and exposition. The vines are left to flourish in faithful accordance with the region’s time-honoured “Guyot” system, as well as with the double-spur, low cordon system.
