Tasting Notes

This wine is the main product of the company: intense straw yellow in colour, the wine is clear, with fine golden reflections. The scent is strong, fragrant and characteristic, with pleasant and elegant apricot and citrus notes on a very delicate mineral and rusty background. Warm, savoury, harmonious mineral and juicy taste.

The grapes are collected by hand, with great care, generally beginning in mid-September. Vinification: soft pressing of whole grapes by means of a latest generation “Bucher Inertys” press, which makes it possible to prevent oxidation and thereby preserve the full aroma of the grapes. Fermentation is started by inoculating the must with selected yeast strains and the process takes place at a temperature of about 18°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by a brief stay on fine lees stirred gently. Bottling is performed in the spring after the harvest. Aging in bottles for 2-4 months.

Goes particularly well with vegetables and white meat hors d’oeuvres, seafood salads and grilled fish, first courses of pasta. Eminently drinkable, it reflects all the typical aspects of Gavi: a small, very special location

About La Chiara Winery

The Bergaglios: a family that has always been inextricably linked with the Gavi region and its wine-growing traditions.

For three generations, their name has been synonymous with quality, experience, harmony.

An atmosphere that is immediately perceived as you reach the farm. A family-run business whose success lies in these roots, with a fourth generation of extremely young future entrepreneurs who are ready to take up the challenges of the third millennium.

The Azienda Agricola La Chiara rises a few kilometres from the centre of Gavi, on the hills of the Ligurian Preappennino mountain chain. It was founded by Ferdinando Bergaglio, born in 1912 in a family of farmers, and his son Roberto.

OUR LAND: GAVI

Very few regions in the world can boast a position and climate so favourable they can produce noble grapes yielding such valuable wines.

Undeniably, one of these fortunate lands is the land surrounding the town of Gavi, where the soil, the temperature, altitude and morphology all combine to give life to a landscape covered with thick rows of vines and wine-making enterprises.

This is the Val Lemme area of Piedmont, at the border with Liguria, a land with centuries old wine growing and wine making traditions.

It benefits from the temperate climate of the hills and the breeze coming from nearby Ligurian Sea: an area where the climate is not too hot, but the sun shines the year round.
