Piemonte, Italy® Alasia Gavi del Commune di Gavi – 4993310392455

Alasia Gavi del Commune di Gavi comes from old Cortese vines. It has good weight in the mouth with apple, stone fruit and citrus flavours with an underlying minerality.

The Alasia range was introduced in the mid-1990s to create a distinctive range of wines, from Araldica’s best vineyards, using the most modern winemaking techniques, to add expression to these local varieties. The name (and label design) is taken from the legend of the Medieval Princess Alasia who eloped with a young Saxon knight and hid out in the Monferrato region. The remains of the Ca’ d’Alasia (where they allegedly lived) is situated near Castel Boglione.
