2007 Broglia Gavi Meirana $26.95
Italy, GaviThis is the most representative and classic wine produced by the farm and it is for this reason that its label carries the name of the farm: the Meirana on it. As a matter of fact the very oldest document which states the origin of the name "Gavi" is preserved at the Record Office in Genova and mentions vineyards and chestnut woods on a spot called Meirana. That document dates back to 971 A.D... Therefore the grape-growing tradition of the Meirana began at the dawn of the history of the village of Gavi.
This wine is made in stainless — steel containers at controlled temperature. It ferments between 18 and 20 degrees in order to preserve its fruity and fresh flavour. The wine "La Meirana" shows the extraordinary characteristics typical of the area of Gavi where the delicious almond — taste, unique in its kind, can be found.
