EXPLORE GAVI

Located in the southern tip of Piedmont, near the Ligurian border, Gavi’s culinary traditions are shaped by Mediterranean influences and the unique terroir that defines the expression of the Cortese grape.

This remarkable land is divided into three geological zones: northern hills with red, iron-rich soils dotted with oak and acacia trees, central strip of marl and sandstone, giving depth and character, southern slopes with steep white clay and marine fossils, a nod to its ancient seabed origins.

The first flavours? Mint, cinnamon and cloves!

What started as a tiny confectionery is now an iconic confectionery brand known for its colourful pastilles and vintage charm: which falvor is your favourite?
