BERGAGLIO CINZIA DI GEMME MATTIA

In Tassarolo, among the hills of the Piedmontese Alessandrino region, the family-run Bergaglio Cinzia di Gemme Mattia cultivates Cortese on calcareous-clay soils. It is the geological matrix that defines the character of Gavi DOCG, the house's sole denomination: distinct minerality and a dry finish recur in every bottle. Agronomic choices follow a measured logic—restrained pruning, green harvest in late July—before horizontal pressing in the cellar, according to practices passed down through generations. Here, Cortese is expressed in three styles: still white, frizzante (lightly sparkling), and spumante (fully sparkling), each interpreted through the same soil imprint and the same attention to low-impact agriculture. The combination of this approach and the precision of modern processing defines the house style, which remains faithful to a single denomination rather than diversifying. The cellar is open to the public: it's worth a stop for a guided tasting of the three expressions of Gavi, the most direct way to appreciate how a single grape changes character depending on the winemaking process.
