An attractive lemon-yellow color. This wine is scented and delicate, with hints of lime zest on the nose and fruit with a lovely zip and verve on the palate and a mineral finish.
La Giustiniana, founded in the 1200s by Cistercian monks, is Gavi’s most historic estate, and its location in Rovereto di Gavi is at the very heart of Piedmont’s most famous white wine appellation. In the verdant hills of the Monferrato district, soft hills are interspersed with both woods and vineyards. The altitude, exposition and characteristics of this particular terroir—with notable deposits of calcareous marl and ferrous clay—as well as the alternating cold winters and hot but breezy summers, create the perfect conditions for this elegant, complex and pleasing white wine which was awarded DOCG status in 1998.
