Broglia Cortese Brut Sparkling NV
(Piedmont, Italy) - [JS 90]

About the Winery:
The winery was founded by Bruno Broglia, then continues over time, a thousand year tradition, which is now carried out with commitment and passion from the sons Gian Piero and Paolo. 

Broglia's Gavi di Gavi (or simply Gavi) "La Meirana" is the signature wine of the Broglia family, one of only a few producers in Piemonte to focus almost exclusively on the production of white wines. The name derives from Gavi, the town at the center of its production zone in the Province of Alessandria, close to the coastal Ligurian border. 

Fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, the Cortese grapes are manually harvested, collected in wooden crates and pressed immediately to maintain their integrity, producing a light, citrusy, full-bodied wine that has long been favored by restaurants in the neighboring port of Genoa as a wine that pairs well with local seafood caught off the Ligurian coast.

Tasting Notes:
Gorgeous bouquet on the nose with fresh aromas of pear, apple, white flowers and delicate spices. The flavor is dry, fresh, pleasantly sparkling with a long creamy finish.
