Santa Seraffa - Gavi del Comune di Gavi DOCG 2025
Santa Seraffa's Gavi del Comune di Gavi 2025 is a wine that speaks of elegance and terroir. Born from vineyards exposed to sea breezes rising from the Ligurian Apennines, it benefits from a unique microclimate that guarantees vibrant acidity and perfect aromatic ripening. The 2025 vintage has yielded a wine of extraordinary clarity, where the citrus freshness of Cortese blends with the typical savoriness of Gavi's white soils. It is a white of great stylistic precision, capable of offering a taut, clean, and profoundly gastronomic sip, faithfully representing the identity of one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions.
Sensory Profile It appears with a pale straw-yellow color, embellished by brilliant greenish reflections. The nose is intense and delicate at the same time: notes of white flowers (acacia and hawthorn), white peach, and cedar zest stand out, accompanied by a characteristic undertone of fresh almond and a distinct chalky minerality. On the palate, the entry is direct and lively; the acidity is well balanced by a good extractive structure. The finish is long, dry, and savory, with a citrusy return that leaves the mouth perfectly clean.
Winemaking and Aging Cortese grapes are hand-picked at full phenolic maturity. In the cellar, after soft pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at strictly controlled temperatures to preserve the varietal aromas. The wine then rests for several months on its fine lees in steel, a fundamental step to impart complexity, natural stability, and that pleasant roundness that balances the freshness of the grape.
Food Pairings An excellent companion for all seafood cuisine, it excels with crustaceans, salt-baked sea bass, and fish-based pasta dishes. Its natural elegance also makes it perfect to accompany delicate white meats, savory herb tarts, and classic Gavi risotto. Extraordinary with fresh goat cheeses and Ligurian cuisine, especially dishes flavored with basil and pine nuts.
