Gavi DOCG
La Giustiniana 'Montessora' Gavi di Gavi 2022, Piedmont, Italy- 1.5l
Gavi went through a rough patch in the 1980s and early 1990s – but who didn’t? Most of us wouldn’t want to be judged on how we carried on or dressed in the bad old days. Today, Gavi is one of the hottest white wines on the planet, with quality having shot way up in recent years. “La Giustiana” from Montessorais a quality drop, no doubt about it. Pale straw in colour, it’s a lot more aromatic than many would expect from a Gavi, showing pretty floral notes along with some flinty minerality. On the palate, it’s crisp with a great purity of fruit, showing peach and lime with a hint of that almond character so typical of Gavi.
GRAPE
- 100% Cortese
WHAT IT GOES WITH
The vineyard isn’t far from the Ligurian sea, and this one is made for fresh seafood. Lightly seared tuna steak or homemade fishcakes will hit the spot every time.
VINEYARD
Piemonte is home to Italy’s greatest red wines, particularly those of Barolo and Barbaresco in the Alba hills. A little to the east lies the Gavi DOCG, a stunningly picturesque hillside region making world-class dry white wines from the Cortese grape. “La Giustiana” is a single vineyard Gavi de Gavi (meaning it originates from the commune of Gavi within the Gavi region, in case you were wondering!) from low-yielding old vines. Winemaker Cristian Pomo works with esteemed Italian consultant Donato Lanatito craft a wine with a real sense of place.

A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
