It is universally acknowledged by most experts that the soil and microclimate in Rovereto are highly suited to the production of a Gavi of the utmost prestige. . In this blessed, small zone, at the centre of which is to be found our modern vinification facility, we have chosen the ideal vineyards for the production of our wine: said vineyards are planted on ground mainly composed of clayey marl of volcanic origin and limestone, rich in manganese and iron. The yields are kept deliberately very low. The Rovereto Gavi of the commune of Gavi is a wine of the utmost delicacy and complexity and has a surprisingly long life. VINEYARD Vine:
