Cascina Ghercina Gavi 2022

Description

Bright, poised and unmistakably Piedmontese. Cascina Ghercina’s Gavi 2022 comes from vineyards in the municipality of Gavi, the original and most prized source of this classic white. Made entirely from Cortese, it shows the variety’s natural tension and purity, shaped by the region’s limestone soils and cool Alpine influence. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, the wine is bottled young to capture its clarity, freshness and finely etched mineral character. This release was awarded a Gold Medal at the 60th Mostra Nazionale Vini di Pramaggiore, underscoring the precision and balance achieved by winemakers Paolo and Guido Sartirano. Their approach favours restraint over opulence, allowing the citrus and floral tones of Cortese to speak clearly. Notes of lemon zest, lime and white blossom sit over a stony backbone, creating a style that is crisp, dry and deeply reflective of its landscape. Gavi remains one of Italy’s most consistent white wine appellations, prized for its focus and quiet sophistication. The 2022 vintage from Cascina Ghercina reinforces why it continues to hold a place alongside Piedmont’s reds—an elegant, mineral-driven white that speaks of both place and craft.
