Gavi Spumante

La Mesma is a family-run winery in the heart of the Gavi DOCG in Piedmont, Italy, led by the Rosina sisters, who focus exclusively on expressing the purity of the Cortese grape. Rooted in sustainable vineyard practices and a deep respect for their terroir, La Mesma produces elegant, mineral-driven Gavi wines that highlight freshness, precision, and a strong sense of place. Their approach balances tradition with thoughtful modern techniques, resulting in wines that are refined, food-friendly, and true to the limestone-rich hills from which they come.

Produced from 100% Cortese grapes harvested slightly early to retain freshness and acidity, this vintage sparkling wine is made using the Metodo Classico, with its second fermentation taking place in the bottle. After fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, the wine undergoes tirage and remains ageing on its lees for between 24 and 120 months, depending on the release. Each bottle is manually riddled and disgorged at the estate, then topped up with the same wine without any added sugar, resulting in a pure, bone-dry Pas Dosé style.

Bright and elegant, this traditional-method sparkling Gavi opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, fresh apple, pear and citrus, followed by subtle almond and mineral notes. The palate is lively and precise, with refreshing acidity, fine persistent bubbles and a dry, clean finish. Extended lees ageing contributes a gentle creaminess and added complexity while preserving the fresh floral and fruit character of the Cortese grape.
