La Toledana

A historic estate built in the 1600’s by Genoa’s royal family, La Toledana has been recognized as one of the most important estates in the Gavi area throughout its history. Cortese grapes have been grown on the La Tolenda estate for over 180 years. La Toledana is composed of 26 hectares of single vineyards that exclusively produce Cortese grapes for Gavi DOCG wine. Dedicated to achieving the Cortese grapes highest possible quality level in every vintage, great efforts are made to limit vine vigor and to work with only the highest quality fruit with minimal intervention in the cellar. Gavi di Gavi DOCG La Toledana is a single estate that has long been recognized as exceptional with respect to the quality of its vineyards and soils. Located within the comune of Gavi, wines from the La Toledana estate can be labeled as “Gavi del Comune di Gavi”. This confirms La Toledana is within the traditional quality wine production zone that existed for many years before the official delimited growing area for Gavi was expanded to include additional territory. Low yields, meticulous winemaking, and an extremely long and cool fermenation yields a wine of exceptional character, personality and aging potential.
