Fornaci Gavi di Tassarolo

Castellari Bergaglio “Fornaci” Gavi di Tassarolo is a dry white wine from Piedmont in northwestern Italy, produced from 100% Cortese grapes grown in the Gavi DOCG zone around Tassarolo. The wine reflects the classic Gavi style — crisp, mineral-driven, and elegant — shaped by limestone-rich soils and a cool climate that enhances freshness and aromatic purity.
