Description

2024 Gavi di Gavi, Figini, Az Agr La Chiara
Grape: 100% Cortese

Pale lemon with subtle green highlights. The nose is refined, showing apple and delicate floral aromas. On the palate, it offers a medium body with lively citrus, melon, and apricot flavors, balanced by crisp acidity and the signature bitter almond finish typical of Gavi.

Owned by the Bergaglio family, La Chiara spans 20 hectares near the heart of Gavi. They prioritize vineyard health by minimizing interventions, keeping yields low, and performing all vineyard work by hand.

Grapes are handpicked, de-stemmed, then cold-soaked at 6°C for 36 hours. After racking, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at 17°C. Malolactic fermentation is prevented, and the wine matures on lees for five months before bottling.
