La Giustiniana

La Giustiniana is a historic estate in the heart of Gavi, in south east Piedmont, one of the region's benchmark names for the Cortese grape. Its vineyards lie in the commune of Rovereto, at the core of the appellation. The estate farms 40 hectares of vines within 110 hectares of land, crafting pure, unoaked wines that let each vineyard speak. Careful, low intervention winemaking preserves the freshness and mineral drive that define fine Gavi. Two single vineyard wines lead the range. Lugarara is the more open and forward, with beguiling stone fruit and lime, while the more mineral Montessora has greater intensity and the structure to age for a decade or more. Fresh, precise and food friendly, La Giustiniana's wines are among the finest expressions of Gavi. They combine purity with real depth and length. This is Piedmontese white wine at its most characterful.
