La Giustiniana Lugarara Gavi 2023
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Jancis Robinson, the famous British wine expert who’s built a reputation for being tough but fair – actually broke character after tasting this wine. She confessed she could “drink this all summer long.” And she’s not alone in her praise. Wine Enthusiast bestowed a stellar 93-point score, describing it as “Fresh and lively…like a crisp breeze on a sundrenched day.” I couldn’t agree more. This has everything I want in a crisp Italian white: pure stone fruit and lemon-lime zest, great minerality, acidity and a tantalizing finish that stays with you well past your last sip.
Original price was: $25.00.$22.00Current price is: $22.00.

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
“Evoking a rugged landscape where wet rock meets delicate white flowers like an edelweiss. This Gavi offers the same contrast: flinty yet fragrant. Green apple and lemon burst onto the palate, delivering a zesty, invigorating experience. Fresh and lively, it’s like a crisp breeze on a sun-drenched day, leaving you refreshed and wanting more.”
La Giustiniana is a treasure hiding in plain sight, nestled in the very heart of Piedmont. This isn’t just any winery – we’re talking about Gavi’s most historic estate, founded by Cistercian monks way back in the 1200s. Their unparalleled mastery of the Cortese grape played a crucial role in earning Gavi its well-deserved DOCG status in the late 1990s.
Now, we all know Piedmont for its big, burly reds, but let me tell you – La Giustiniana is like a refreshing oasis in this sea of robust wines. Picture this: a sacred estate perched high in the hills, blessed with unique soils of calcareous marl and ferrous clay. It’s these very elements that give birth to white wines of incredible fragrance, elegance, and a mouthwatering quality that’ll have you reaching for another glass before you know it.
