La Giustiniana, founded in the 1200s by Cistercian monks, is Gavi’s most historic estate, located in Rovereto di Gavi at the heart of Piedmont’s renowned white wine appellation. The estate spans 110 hectares, with a rich history of viticulture dating back to the Benedictine monks who cultivated the first vines here. Today, under the ownership of Stefano Massone and Magdalena Pedrini, La Giustiniana focuses on producing elegant wines that highlight the classic perfumes of the Cortese variety through meticulous vineyard care.
- WINEMAKERS: Stefano Massone and Magdalena Pedrini
- FARMING: Practicing organic; the estate employs sustainable viticulture methods to maintain the health of the vineyards and the surrounding ecosystem.
- VARIETY: 100% Cortese
- TERROIR: The vineyards are situated in Rovereto di Gavi, characterized by a mixture of calcareous and clay soils. The Guyot-trained vines have an average age of 15 years, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and delicate aromatics of the Cortese grape.
- AGING: The wine is aged for three months on the lees in stainless steel tanks, enhancing its texture and adding subtle complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: This Gavi di Gavi presents a bright straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers elegant aromas of lemon, green apple, and pear, complemented by mineral notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of citrus and white peach, balanced by lively acidity and a lingering, clean finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: An excellent companion to seafood dishes, particularly shellfish and lean fish. It also pairs well with light pasta dishes, appetizers, and soft cheeses.
- SCORES: While specific scores for the 2023 vintage are not yet available, previous vintages have been well-received for their elegance and expression of the Gavi terroir.
