A Rich Tapestry of Aroma and Flavour

Pour a glass of Gavium Passito and be greeted by a captivating bouquet. Sun-kissed apricot and peach notes dance alongside hints of honey and golden raisins. Delicate floral nuances, reminiscent of jasmine and acacia, add a touch of elegance. As the wine opens up, a whisper of spice emerges, like a sprinkle of ginger or nutmeg, adding further complexity.

On the palate, Gavium Passito delivers a luscious and concentrated experience. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a vibrant and harmonious mouthfeel. Ripe stone fruit flavours take centre stage, with notes of apricot, peach, and candied orange peel. Hints of honey and vanilla add a touch of richness, while the subtle spice from the nose lingers on the finish.

The Art of Winemaking

This exceptional dessert wine is a testament to the meticulous winemaking techniques employed by Castellari Bergaglio. Crafted from hand-selected Cortese grapes, the heart and soul of Gavi wines, Gavium Passito undergoes a process known as “passito.” In this traditional method, the grapes are partially dried after harvest, concentrating their sugars and intensifying their flavours. The result is a wine bursting with character and depth.

Serving Suggestions and Food Pairings

Castellari Bergaglio Gavium Passito is best enjoyed chilled, ideally between 8-10C. This allows the wine’s delicate aromas and flavours to shine through. Due to its sweetness and richness, Gavium Passito is best reserved for dessert.
