Sophisticated and characterised by considerable finesse, Gavi del Comune di Gavi D.O.C.G. Le Clivie is a wine influenced by the breeze that blows in from the Ligurian Sea and the snow from the Apennines.
In the unique area of Southern Piedmont, with its white tufaceous soil and red clay, the Cortese vine, characterised by large, golden, thin-skinned grapes, takes root.
Legend has it that its success at Court banquets accounts for its name, Cortese. Gavi del Comune di Gavi D.O.C.G. Le Clivie, prince among white wines, is the epitome of refined elegance.
