Region
In the northwest of Italy lies the unique low alpine region of Piedmont (or Piemonte), which means `at the foot of the mountains`. Weather influences come from the Apennine Mountains and the Alps The region includes the small and prestigious hillside wine towns of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Gavi, where a diverse variety of well-known wine styles originate. Some of Italy`s most revered and expensive red wines come from the Nebbiolo grape, grown alongside Barbera, Dolcetto and for white wines Moscato and Cortese.
Producer
Giacomo Sperone Spa was founded in 1911 by Antonio Sperone Sr., who started a craft made production of Vermouth and fortified wines in a small cellar just outside Turin. As years went by, after a short interruption due to World War I, the expansion continued gradually among all Italy and abroad, thanks to the initiative of the oenologist Giacomo, Antonio’s son; in 1960 Giacomo built a new and modern plant in Cusano Milanino, close to Milan.
In the Seventies Paolo and Antonio, Giacomo’s sons, joined the company and in 1983 the Sperone family opened another canteen; Tenute Neirano, in the Asti area. Surrounded by 25 hectares of vineyards, Tenute Neirano activity is centred on the production and bottling of high quality wines from the Piedmont area.
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow with light green glints, this refreshing Gavi di Gavi has notes of springtime blossom and green apples on the nose. These attractive aromas follow through to the palate combining with notes of white peach and a zippy grapefuit finish.
Food
Serve with shellfish or salad nicoise.
