Cascina Gilli

Cascina Gilli is located on a ridge of white soil, within a territory given classically to the production of quality wines. The entire territory is composed of „Marne di Sant’ Agata“ (white soil), not common to many terroirs, it provides for an unusual intensity of bouquet and elegant structure. The first bottles released were of the Freisa ferma variety, vintage 1985, with the future aim of bringing this variety to a superior level of quality. A few years later Gilli started producing Malvasia, earning immediate enthusiastic apprioval by the critics. Today the winery grows on 12 hectares of vineyard, and besides continuous experimentation and research on Freisa and Malvasia, it produces further DOC varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera and Bonarda.

Gilli is a midly effervescent sweet red wine with low alcohol content (5.5%) made from one of the most appealing aromatic red grapes, the Malvasia di Schierano. It is characterized by an unusual marriage of freshness and aromatic complexity. Wild red berry fruit is evident on the nose, along with fascinating hints of blossoms, particularly wisteria and iris. Served well chilled (6-8°C), it is ideal with different types of desserts as well as with fresh fruit and petits fours.
