Gavi Le Marne by Michele Chiarlo from 100% Cortese grapes, comes from vineyards located in the high hills, on marly clayey soil. The harvest by hand (which took place in 2018 between 20 and 26 September) is preceded by the summer thinning of the excess bunches. A partial cold maceration is followed by soft pressing and fermentation with indigenous yeasts for 12-15 days at a temperature between 16 and 18° C in steel vats (the temperature control serves to ensure that the fermentation takes place develop slowly and constantly and that there are no fermentation blocks, with the death of wine yeasts and the possible triggering of fermentations by other unsuitable fungi or bacteria; in the case of whites and rosés, it is particularly important also to preserve the aromas). The refinement continues, on its own yeasts, for 3-4 months, always in steel.
