Product Notes

Broglia Gavi di Gavi La Meirana is a white wine made from the Cortese grape variety grown in the Gavi region of Piedmont, Italy. The wine is named after the historic La Meirana estate, which has been producing wines since the 18th century. This wine is known for its lively and fresh flavor profile with notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach. The delicate floral aromas and crisp acidity of the wine make it an excellent pairing with fresh seafood, soft cheeses, and light pasta dishes. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees for about five months to enhance the wine's creaminess and complexity. Broglia Gavi di Gavi La Meirana is the epitome of elegant Italian white wine with a classic touch.

About the Winery

Broglia

If you are looking to taste some of the famous, ancient and authentic Italian wines, you have to try the Broglia wines right now. The vineyards of Broglia are the oldest in the Gavi region, as their history dates back to as early as 972AD. The Gavi Village, where the La Meirana wine estate is located, is one of the most significant regions in Piedmont. There is a document to state that the rental lease of this estate was signed on June 3rd, 972, which explains its history!

Initially, white varietals were cultivated here in plenty. However, with the passing of years, the eating and lifestyle habits of the people in Piedmont underwent a sea change. As a result, the original black grapes, known locally as Nibio or Dolcetto, were quickly replaced with the Cortese vines.

Today, the Piedmont region is known for its highly-acidic Cortese vines. These grapes have been used for many years to create some of the premium blanc-de-blanc wines in Piedmont. Broglia introduced its trademark innovation and technology in all the places, such as vineyards, winery and cellars to ensure that the final product is an excellent representation of the terroir of the region.

This wine label partnered with various reputed Italian universities to bring about some fruitful and sophisticated innovation in its practices. The partnerships with the University of Turin and the University of Milan, especially, proved to be extremely useful for this group. Thanks to these brainstorming sessions, Broglia introduced the process of creating a cellar for white wines without actually making use of the chemical, sulphurous anhydride.

Some of the popular Broglia wines are:

  • The Doge – Made from 100% Cortese di Gavi grown on the clayey soils of the Gavi region
  • The Meirana – Made from 100% Cortese di Gavi grown on the clayey-marly soils of the Gavi DOCG
  • Villa Broglia – Made from 100% Cortese di Gavi grown on the clayey-marly soils of the Gavi DOCG
