Gavi di Gavi Lugarara Giustiniana Half 2022

Gavi di Gavi Lugarara Giustiniana 2022 is a single-vineyard dry white wine produced in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The La Giustiniana estate has been under vine since the 1600s and was originally cultivated by Benedictine monks whose monastery was built on the estate. Today, La Giustiniana is dedicated to producing two single-vineyard Gavi di Gavi wines here. Lugarara and Montessora. The two vineyards sit side by side at 300m above sea level, but they have very different soils and showcase two contrasting expressions of the Cortese grape. The Lugarara vineyard is planted on marl soils with sandy layers and is always the more open and expressive of the two estate wines. Matured on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, the wine offers vibrant stonefruit and lime citrus aromas, which follow through onto a refreshing palate accented with hints of blanched almonds.
