Orsola Gavi DOCG

The captivating label of this new collaboration features a portrait by the legendary Andy Warhol, depicting Orsola Spinola, a relative of Castello di Tassarolo's owner and winemaker, Massimiliana Spinola. As Massimiliana recounts, “Orsola spent several years in New York during Warhol's lifetime and was an avid collector of American modern art, with a particular fondness for Warhol. She was so enamored with his work that he painted not one, but two portraits of her, both of which still adorn her home near our winery.” In honor of the captivating Orsola, one of Warhol's unique pop art pieces graces the label, and the wine bears her name.

Vineyard:Marl and silty-clay soils at an elevation of 300 meters. The grapes are sourced from a selection of estate-owned vineyards, all of which are biodynamic- and organic-certified.

Winemaking: The grapes are carefully hand-harvested in small crates, with a maximum weight of 19 kg, to preserve their integrity. Upon harvest, the grapes are immediately pressed in a pneumatic press, and the finest portion of the must is transferred to temperature-controlled vats to begin alcoholic fermentation, utilizing only indigenous yeast. The wine is vegan-friendly, fined, filtered, and a minimal amount of sulfur is added prior to bottling.

Personality: Just like the elegant lady adorning the label, this wine is both refined and attention-grabbing. It boasts a straw yellow hue with green highlights and offers an intense floral bouquet of orange blossom and chamomile. Fresh, fragrant, light, lively, and persistent, it is best served well-chilled and pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes or can be enjoyed on its own.
