Magda
By Magda Pedrini, Gavi, Piemonte, Italy
Gavi DOCG del Comune di Gavi that the estate says fully reflects the Cortese grape, with a pleasant minerality and excellent aromatic persistence.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with appealing greenish highlights. Intense and characteristic on the nose, with hints of apricot and citrus over a very fine mineral background. Elegant and structured on the palate, slightly savoury and harmonious.
Pairs well with
Vegetable and white meat appetisers, seafood salads, grilled fish, pasta dishes, shellfish and molluscs

- Soft pressing of the whole grapes gives the free-run must. Yeast inoculation activates alcoholic fermentation at about 18 degrees C in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation ends, the wine stays on its fine lees with constant batonnage until bottling the following spring, in 0.75 litre Bordeaux bottles, then ages in bottle for 2 to 4 months.
