The 17-acre property of Picollo Ernesto is perched among the rolling hills that surround the town of Gavi.The climate here is much more mediterranean than in the north, benefiting from the constant maritime breezes, unique to the southern Piedmont. Picollo Ernesto’s vineyards sit near 260 meters above sea level in Rovereto di Gavi, the most prestigious area of the appellation. Their nine hectares of vineyards are planted exclusively with Cortese, a hearty, high acid white varietal that thrives in difficult soil, dry climate, and full sun exposure (which Rovereto amply provides). Lorenzo Picollo founded the winery in 1945.
