Cortese Di Gavi
Cortese di Gavi, or simply Gavi, is an Italian dry white wine produced in a restricted area of the Province of Alessandria, Piedmont, close to the Ligurian border. The wine was awarded DOC status in 1974 and elevated to DOCG in 1998. The name derives from Gavi, the ''comune'' at the centre of its production zone, and Cortese, the local variety of grape from which it is exclusively made and whose existence is reported from the 17th century. The current style of production dates to 1876. Cortese di Gavi made from vines within the ''comune'' of Gavi may be labeled Gavi di Gavi. Although the DOCG rules allow for sparkling ''spumante'' and '' metodo classico'' styles, most Gavi is produced as a non-sparkling still wine. Production zone The DOCG regulations restrict the production of Cortese di Gavi to the area formed by the following towns: Bosio, Capriata d'Orba, Carrosio, Francavilla Bisio, Gavi, Novi Ligure, Parodi Ligure, Pasturana, San Cristoforo, Serravalle Scrivia Ser ...

Metodo Classico
Sparkling wine production is the method of winemaking used to produce sparkling wine. The oldest known production of sparkling wine took place in 1531 with the ''ancestral method''. Pressure and terminology In popular parlance and also in the title of this article the term ''sparkling'' is used for all wines that produce bubbles at the surface after opening. Under EU law the term ''sparkling'' has a special meaning that does not include all wines that produce bubbles. For this reason the terms ''fizzy'' and ''effervescent'' are sometimes used to include all bubbly wines. The following terms are increasingly used to designate different bottle pressures: * ''Beady'' is a wine with less than of pressure. * ''Semi-sparkling'' is a wine with of pressure.
