Territory

Gavi, this is a territory where human and vine intertwine in a bond whose beginning is remembered and the end is not seen.

Piona is an historic hamlet in the territory of Cortese di Gavi, a stone’s throw from the Gavi’s city centre where peace and quiet allow you to enjoy a 360 degree view surronded by nature, between vines and brooms in a particular favourable position to the sun and the sea wind.

The cultivator of vines is carried out respecting their natural rhythms, since nature already has all the credentials in it to get the best from its fruits. All he work in the vineyards is carried out manually: pruning, tying and especially grapes are harvested by hands in boxes ready to be transported quickly to the cellar. Therefore, the result is a quality product.
