Broglia Gavi di Gavi La Meirana DOCG

Wine information: Broglia Gavi di Gavi La Meirana is made from 100% Cortese grapes. This is the most representative and classic wine produced by Broglia and it is for this reason that its label carries the name of the farm, La Meirana, on it. As a matter of fact the very oldest document which states the origin of the name "Gavi" is preserved at the Record Office in Genova and mentions vineyards and chestnut woods on a spot called Meirana. That document dates back to 971 A.D. This wine is made in stainless - steel containers at controlled temperature. It ferments between 18 and 20 degrees in order to preserve its fruity and fresh flavour. The "La Meirana" shows the extraordinary characteristics typical of the area of Gavi where the delicious almond - taste, unique in its kind, can be found.

Tasting Notes: Broglia Gavi di Gavi La Meirana shows great texture and precision, with distinctive greengage and almond notes on the palate. Fresh and dry, this is particularly characterful Gavi.

Reviews: "The 2010 Gavi di Gavi La Meirana comes together beautifully in the glass, with expressive yellow peaches, apricots, mint and light floral honey. This is an especially beautiful, textured white loaded with class and personality. The inviting, vibrant finish refreshes the palate nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016." 89 points, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate (197)
