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.

“Rounded aromas of ripe pear, golden apple, and sun-warmed Meyer lemon rise generously from the glass. The energetic palate delivers a solid core of juicy nectarine and orchard fruits, balanced perfectly by vibrant acidity, while slate and wet gravel notes emerge on the mineral-driven finish.”
