Descrizione

The Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG Cortem by Fontanafredda represents the white excellence of Piedmont, made entirely from the Cortese grape variety, a symbol of the hilly territory of the Gavi area. This wine stands out for its elegance and freshness, born from mineral-rich soil and an ideal climate that enhances the delicacy of the grape. The winemaking process is carefully managed, preserving the fresh and floral aromatic characteristics typical of Cortese.

On the nose, hints of white flowers, green apple, and a slight mineral note reminiscent of the native soils emerge. The sip is lively, balanced, with an acidity that gives drive and persistence, ideal to accompany dishes based on fish, shellfish, and light white meats. A label that tells the story of the territory through a glass of pure refinement and Piedmontese tradition.

Winery history

The estate made history in the 19th century: purchased by Vittorio Emanuele II in 1858 and associated with Rosa Vercellana, the property was developed by the Mirafiore family and had already established its commercial reputation by the late 1800s. In the 20th century the Fontanafredda brand consolidated as a reference producer in the Langhe; after hardships related to crises and wars, the company regained momentum and, in 2008, was relaunched under new ownership led by Oscar Farinetti. In recent years Fontanafredda has undertaken a program of technical renewal and sustainability known as “Rinascimento Verde,” publishing sustainability reports and holding certifications as reported by the producer.

Production philosophy

Local production focused on quality, the protection of the vineyard landscape and sustainability. Fontanafredda coordinates a network of suppliers to operate across a wide area while maintaining a strong focus on conversion to organic farming, biodiversity and the transmission of agricultural practices between generations, with a significant investment in storytelling and the local community.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, the estate manages vineyards in several municipalities of the Langhe and lower Piedmont at varying altitudes. The area is characterized by limestone hills and the typical continental climate of the Langhe.
