Tasting Notes
Made from old Cortese vines planted in ideal positions on one of the hilltops that overlook the town of Gavi in the north of Italy. The soils in the central zone of Gavi di Gavi impart a perfumed mineral character adding complexity to lively aromas of ripe fruit and flowers. Concentration of fruit aroma is sought through a cooler fermentation in stainless steel. `Ca da Bosio` is further refined by extended lees contact which imparts a soft-textured dry finish.

Food
Makes a good partner for river fish, risottos, chicken dishes and vegetables.
