ABOUT THIS WINE

Founded in 1980, the cooperative represents over 2,500 local growers across 5,000 hectares of vineyards, focusing exclusively on Piedmont's strictly regulated DOC and DOCG wines. The name 'Rosa dell'Olmo' celebrates ancient Italian agricultural traditions, specifically the historic 'vite maritata' (married vine) technique where grapevines were trained up elm trees (olmo), and the practice of planting roses (rosa) at the end of vine rows as biological sentinels.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Gavi DOCG focuses on preserving the fresh, delicate varietal characteristics of the Cortese grape. Sourced from vineyards with marly limestone and clay soils, the grapes undergo a gentle soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at a cool 15°C to 16°C to lock in primary fruit and floral aromas. The wine is entirely un-oaked, resting briefly in stainless steel before a short bottle-aging period to stabilize its structure prior to release.
