| History |
We find the first written historical trace about the Cortese vine thanks to the farmer of the Montaldeo Castle, who in 1659, in a letter to the Doria Marquis, wrote of planting all over cortese vines…" In 1856 the Cambiaso Marquis, owner of the estates Toledana and Centuriona, created the first large plantations specialized in Cortese grapes, intended for producing a dry white wine. His example was soon followed by other estates in the area. In 1974 the Gavi wine adorns itself of the DOCG denomination (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) and since 1998 of the D.O.C.G. one. |
