Discover the rich flavors and history of Gavi DOCG with a guided winery tour and tasting at La Mesma. Perfect for wine lovers and culturally curious travelers, this experience offers a taste of Piedmont’s legendary vineyards.
La Mesma is a winery and tasting destination located in Novi Ligure, Piemonte. The business specializes in guided tours and tastings that introduce visitors to Gavi DOCG and the Cortese grape. La Mesma offers two main experiences: "Panoramica sul Gavi", a winery tour with a tasting of three distinct Gavi wines, and "Tutto il Gavi in 6 bicchieri", a deeper tasting that examines how soil, vinification, and aging influence flavor alongside a cellar tour.
Tours are led on site at the winery and focus on practical winemaking steps, grape characteristics, and regional context. The Panoramica sul Gavi provides an accessible introduction to Gavi for first-time tasters, while Tutto il Gavi in 6 bicchieri is designed for guests seeking a comparative tasting across six wines and methods. The second experience includes a brief introduction to Gavi DOC and the winery's history and culminates in a guided cellar walk-through that illustrates fermentation and aging techniques.
La Mesma operates from Novi Ligure in the Piemonte region, making it accessible for travelers exploring Italian wine routes and nearby destinations. The business emphasizes factual, educational tasting sessions rooted in local viticulture. Reservations are recommended to secure space on guided tours and tastings. Visitors can expect curated wine samples, cellar insights, and focused explanations of how terroir and winemaking choices shape the Cortese-based wines presented during each experience. La Mesma welcomes both casual visitors and wine students, offering structured tastings, clear explanations, and direct observation of cellar practices during scheduled visits throughout the year and seasons.
