La Giustiniana

La Giustiniana is, without a doubt, an elite Gavi expert. Its magnificent estate has a wine history dating back to the 10th century. “Lugarara” is La Giustiniana’s contemporary single vineyard Gavi. The Lugarara vineyard is made up of grey marl and a sandy topsoil which renders an elegant expression of the hand-harvested Cortese grapes.

This is a textural wine from one of Piedmont’s most famous DOCG zones. An extended, cool fermentation, facilitated by state-of-the-art precise temperature control measures, draws out bright herbal notes that linger on the finish. Captivating aromas of green apple and lime peel with pronounced acidity and notes of toasted almonds make this dry white a versatile accompaniment for many meals. It shines with fish and light pastas, or sipped as an aperitif.

“This single-vineyard expression of cortese is made with grapes from La Giustiniana’s Lugarara vineyard. I really like its vibrant flavours of bergamot, oranges, lime peel, and ripe apples. The palate is fleshy, almost waxy, with juicy acids, while the long finish is refreshingly bitter, reminding me of tonic water, infused with a slice of lime. Though this is not a particularly complex wine, it is flavourful, brimming with fruit and the potential for immediate gratification and joy.”
