Description
Bergi is a rich and elegant Gavi DOCG made from 100% Cortese grapes grown on clay-limestone soils near Gavi. Hand-harvested grapes undergo soft pressing and long sur lies aging for 8–9 months, creating depth and complexity. Golden yellow in color, it reveals aromas of acacia flowers, honey, and peach, with a full, warm, and enveloping palate. Perfect with seafood soups, delicate main courses, and aged cheeses.
