| Comments: |
Made with select grapes from the higher vine of the Romagnano Sesia vineyards, in the Novara Hills, which are characterized by soil of glacial origin. The wine ages for 24 months in large 23- or 48-hectoliter French oak vats, plus 12 months in the bottle before release.
The color is brilliant garnet, with a ruby red heart and orange highlights on the nail. The perfume of ripe cherries opens to the aroma of green tobacco, notes of dried fruit and just a touch of black truffles. The palate is pleasantly acidic, with ripe tannins which add density and fade into spice notes in the finish.
Perfect wine for important game dishes, red meat with sauce, and strong-flavored cheeses. |

| Comments: |
Made with select grapes from the Tenuta Franceta vineyard in Romagnano Sesia, in the Novara Hills, which are characterized by soil of glacial origin. The wine ages for 6 months in large 50-hectoliter (about 1,320 gallons) oak vats, and it is bottled the spring following harvest.
The color is ruby red, and to the nose it reveals the perfume of ripe white cherries and raspberries, with intense scent of aromatic herbs and mineral notes. To the palate it tastes of fresh, ripe fruits, with delicate tannins which add character to the finish.
Excellent paired with pastas with rich sauces, white- or red meat-based recipes. |

| Comments: |
This wine is called 'Pilin' to honor the grandfather of the current family estate manager, Marco, as this was the nickname by which he was known in Gavi.
The best, healthiest and ripest bunches are carefully selected from all the farms vineyards and placed in wooden trays, where they are left to partially dry for 30 to 40 days. This makes the wine suitable for vinification and ageing in barriques.
It reaches maturity in its third year, and maintains an even level of quality for many years. The winery began making this wine back in 1984, since then its quality has stood out for itself.
(Truly amazing, one of a kind aged white wine. Very rare - Last seven bottles)
