Gavi DOCG 2018
Ca' Bianca
Terroir: Ca Bianca’s Gavi is sourced from low yielding vineyards that sit between the village of Gavi and the neighboring commune of Novi Ligure just to the north. Soils here are rich in clay and sand and sit with a prime south/ southeast exposure.
Vinification: 80% of the blend is vinified in stainless steel and aged on it’s lees. The remaining 20% is vinified in a unique manner in which the ripe grapes are allowed to dry for a short period and then vinified in new French oak with weekly stirring of the lees adding to the complexity and rich character of the final blend.
