EP GI
"GI" This wine is more to us than just wine: it is the merger between local and global, the meeting point between “our” Muscat and the “foreign” Chardonnay. Each year, the GI production is truly a challenge. We must measure both vineyards personality in order to find the perfect balance. “GI” gets its name from what we call the "dormouse" in Piedmontese dialect. (Dormouse are known for spending long periods of time in hibernation). We chose this name because this wine reaches its best once it's been able to rest in the cellar.
Grapes: 80% Chardonnay 20% White Muscat.
Vineyards origins: Castiglione Tinella.
The harvest: it starts with a strict manual selection of Muscat grapes, choosing the best bunches from our Chardonnay. After picking, grapes arrive to the celiar into small containers. Operating quickly, to minimize time to maintain the integrity of the skins and safeguard fragrances.
Vinification: after fermentation in steel tanks, it ages 3-4 months into a tank with its own natural yeasts.
Characteristics: vivid, aromatic and exuberant, it develops notes of serious complexity over time. Exotic fruit, peach, sage and wattle tree honey notes, it delivers over time minerai and dried fruits fragrance. Subtle, embracing structure, with acidity that provides liveliness to the palate.
Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.
Conservation: Gi has a wonderful aging ability, improving complexity starting from the second year to further increase within 4-5 years.
Recommended parings: raw fish, paella, white meat, spicy dishes (saffron); perfect alone before meals.
Serving Temperature: 7/8° C.
