About the Wine

Made from a selection of the best cuves, initially intended for the productionof our Gavi dei Gavi black label and only in great vintages. After ageing forup to ten years, solely in steel tanks and on native lees, this wine arrives inthe bottle with that unmistakable intensity and nobility of sensations that onlytime gives to great wines.

A rare and unique wine, to be savoured while meditating on the extraordinarytaste sensations that bring to mind, as in Proust’s ‘Recherche,’ the taste ofdistant memories: the bouquet is surprising, evoking the sea breeze, theminerality of the soil, but also exotic fruits and honey. Only the experience ofover a century of production can provide this harmony, where power andfinesse come together in splendid balance, bringing us back to nature and theD’Antan sensations.
