Berry Bros. & Rudd started buying Roberto’s Gavi di Gavi in 2001, when he was winemaker at the local co-operative, identifying his talent as a top producer of fine Gavi di Gavi. This relationship grew when Roberto bought his own estate shortly after. Located close to the town of Gavi, his property is perfectly placed to grow exquisite Cortese grapes; the nutrient-poor white soils focusing Cortese’s energy into the fruit, not the leaves.
“Bric Sassi” comes from the upper, higher part (the bric) of the vineyard, strewn with stones (sassi).
Produced from the Cortese grape, this wine is pale lemon-white in colour and possesses floral lift with a citrus, steely character that persists on the palate. Bric Sassi is a single vineyard at a higher altitude, which provides additional weight and concentration.
