Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant. Located in Rovereto, in the heart of the Gavi wine area, Piedmont, the Castellari Bergaglio winery has an ancient winemaking tradition that dates back to 1800. Today, the company, led by Marco Bergaglio in the cellar with the help in the managing role of Claudio Andrea Gemme, produces from its 12 hectares of vineyards, high-quality white wines that are a strong expression of the territory. Gavi Rolona is made with Cortese grapes sourced from hillside vineyards located in the municipality of Gavi. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature to guarantee the full expression of the aromatic freshness typical of this indigenous grape variety. The wine then rests briefly in the bottle before being released onto the market. This elegant wine shows a bright straw yellow color. Its aromatic profile is fresh and lively with notes of apple and pear, hints of hay and citrus, and a delicate mineral vein. On the palate, it is tasty and lean, with a strong refreshing acidic vein and a pleasant persistent finish. It can be served on its own for a classy aperitif, but also pairs very well with pasta or fish-based risottos.
