La Chiara Gavi di Gavi

On the strength of their long-standing farming traditions, the Bergaglio family played a key role in the birth and the success of Gavi, and has been producing this great white wine in Piedmont for three generations. It all originated from the great vision and passion of Ferdinando Bergaglio and his son Roberto, who realized the wine-making potential of the land. After a lifetime spent working at a historic local winery, in 1976, Ferdinando – together with his newly-wed son Roberto and daughter-in-law Silvana – decided to undertake a new family adventure, La Chiara winery. Today, the estate extends over a vast area, all of it in the municipality of Gavi, with 28 hectares occupied by vineyards cultivated with pride, passion, and according to traditional methods.

The grapes are collected by hand, with great care, generally beginning in mid-September. Vinification: soft pressing of whole grapes by means of a latest generation “Bucher Inertys” press, which makes it possible to prevent oxidation and thereby preserve the full aroma of the grapes.
