Descrizione

Gavi DOCG comes from Cortese grapes, from vineyards grown on marly-limestone soils and a peculiar microclimate that distinguish its fragrance.

A wine that pours into the glass with a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. A fresh and delicate bouquet with fruity and floral aromas of white flowers inebriate the nose.

When tasted, it presents a wine with a dry flavour, harmonious and well balanced and with a pleasant acidity on the palate. Excellent wine that excels in pairing with fish-based courses of various cooking methods, first courses with delicate sauces, fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables.

Winery history

The brand's roots lie in the Asti area: the family has origins linked to a distillery dating back to the late 19th century, and the Ricossa name has been known since the early 20th century. The modern production identity has been consolidated around Tenuta Ca' dei Mandorli, with a new winery and the development of a collection of classic Piedmontese wines over recent decades, and a relaunch of the brand beginning in the last decade with integration into the Argea/Mondodelvino group.

Production philosophy

Interpreting classic Piedmontese grape varieties through a contemporary lens, showcasing the terroir with Barbera as the primary reference, and offering approachable wines for everyday consumption without losing the connection to the region’s historic appellations.

Terroir and vineyards
