Picollo Ernesto
Gavi, Italy
Picollo Ernesto Winery, founded in 1945 and now run by Gianlorenzo Picollo, continues a family legacy of crafting exceptional Gavi wines. The winery focuses on showcasing the pure essence of this high-acid varietal.
Picollo Ernesto is a 17-acre winery nestled in the rolling hills around Gavi, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and maritime breezes unique to southern Piedmont. Located at 260 meters above sea level in Rovereto di Gavi, the estate features nine hectares of vineyards exclusively planted with Cortese.
The grapes for this wine are hand harvested on gentle slopes with stony clay and marl soils, primarily south-facing. The clay soils and old vines contribute pear-pulp aromas during fermentation, resulting in a light, crisp wine that offers excellent value.
