Grapes 100% Cortese How to Drink Perfect with light cheeses, fish and chicken. Producer Information Tenuta Olim Bauda is a secluded family estate in the hills of Piedmont, found at the end of a long, winding drive off the busy Via Prata. It is run by siblings Dino, Diana and Gianni, who devote themselves to fresh, expressive Barbera d'Asti and pure, vibrant Gavi, made in the most delicate, low-intervention way. The estate works its vineyards organically, without chemical weedkillers. Production Information Made only from the best Cortese grapes grown around the San Martino farmhouse in the commune of Gavi itself. The grapes are destemmed and pressed on the evening of harvest, then spend a short time on the skins at 12°C. Fermentation lasts around 15 days at a cool 15-16°C to protect the wine's delicate aromas, and the wine then rests on its fine lees in stainless steel until May.
