Fresh and fragrant, this wine makes an excellent aperitif! Great for sipping alone or pair it with some fancy hors d’oeuvres at your next party.
The Ascheri white wine range is named after and dedicated to Matteo Ascheri's mother, Cristina Ascheri.(left: Matteo Ascheri, right: Cristina Ascheri)
Pale straw yellow colour with green tints. Lemon peel and grapefruit citrus nose with hints of wild flowers and peach. The dominant lemon and grapefruit flavours on the palate have soft layers of green apple, honeydew melon, almonds and minerals. Dry and pleasant mouthfeel balanced by a remarkable acidity that ends in a savoury finish.
Ascheri's Gavi di Gavi one of the best examples of Gavi, as evidenced by the DOCG classification, which guarantees compliance with the standards of the region and the high quality of the wine. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked and gently pressed. Fermentation in temperature regulated stainless steel vats for about 15 days at 18°C. The wine ages in stainless steel for 4 months, after which it continues maturation in bottles for 2 months.
