| Battistina | www.araldicavini.com |   The Battistina estate is located in Novi Ligure, a settlement of ancient Ligurians. The estate covers a total of 65 acres – 50 acres in the town of Novi Ligure and 15 acres in the town of Gavi. The vineyards extend over hilly slopes of a unique combination of limestone and clay, with exposure to the Southeast, perfect for the cultivation of white grape varieties. The special microclimate, soil, and the springtime Ligurian Sea breeze, give the Cortese grape its unique blend of floral and fruity aromas with elegant mineral, multi-layered structure. The Cortese grape is extremely ancient, documentation of the wine Gavi dates back only to 1798. The Cortese grape had been viewed for many years as the prime grape for white wines in the Northwest of Italy. The wines that state “Gavi del comune di Gavi” on their label can only do so if their fruit comes from vineyards in the township of Gavi. The “terroir” of this area gives the wine its special character and brings out the best from the Cortese grape. |  |
