In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour, enhanced by subtle greenish highlights. On the nose, it reveals clear \u003cstrong\u003enotes of lily of the valley and green apple\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by citrus hints and a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is dry and well-structured, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant savoury sensation, while the vibrant acidity balances the sip, offering harmonious persistence, the result of vinification in steel and partly in barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Piedmontese white originates in the Gavi area, within the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Lomellina locality\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyards rest on hills situated between two hundred and three hundred metres above sea level, with optimal exposure to the south-east and south-west. The soil is notable for its abundance of \u003cstrong\u003esandy marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, a matrix that gives the grapes a distinct savouriness and great precision of flavour. The unique features of this terroir enhance the character of the \u003cstrong\u003eCortese\u003c\/strong\u003e grape, favouring an elegant aromatic profile deeply rooted in its place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins in mid-September with a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the perfect integrity of the bunches. This is followed by gentle pressing with immediate separation of the must from the skins and static decantation. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature in steel, while a small portion ferments in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich the complexity of the bouquet. The wine then rests in steel in contact with the fine lees, completing maturation with \u003cstrong\u003ecold stabilisation\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve its original freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eFontanafredda Gavi Comune di Gavi Cortem 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e is inspired by the Provençal word 'Cortes', a genuine tribute to the culture of courts, kindness, elegance, and authority.
