La Marchesa wine estate: our cellar in Gavi
The 17th-Century Cellar
The historic cellar, a typical inferrnot of Monferrato, is located in the part of the villa dating back to the 17th century. A meticulous restoration has preserved the original structure, highlighting the old volumes and the red brick walls and vaulted ceiling.
The experience of visiting the historic cellar with a wine tasting in Novi Ligure, in the Gavi region, is truly extraordinary.
The modern winery
The modern winery at La Marchesa in Gavi stands opposite the historic villa and reflects its iconic arched design in the monumental structure.
The winery is divided into two sections: one dedicated to large steel tanks for controlled-temperature wine fermentation and preservation, and the other dedicated to tasting and sales.
The Winemaking Process at La Marchesa
Gavi Winemaking
After a gentle pressing and must decanting, the must is fermented with locally selected yeasts in steel below 18°C, preserving the aromatic molecules that are naturally volatile.
After fermentation, the Gavi White Label is aged for two months, while the Gold Label is aged for eight months, ensuring perfect balance and rich fruity aromas.
Vinification of native Piedmont Reds grapes
After harvesting, the grapes are cooled to extract aromas and then fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Micro-oxygenation during fermentation and a long aging process in steel result in smooth, structured wines with intense aromas ranging from pepper to black cherry and licorice.
