"Gavi with screwcap finally became a reality in 2016. When we started our campaign to permit the use of screwcap on DOCG wines, we didn't think it would take so long.
As soon as the law changed, we began talking to La Giustiniana about using some of the wine that doesn't make it into the blend for 'Lugarara'. Initially, it had to be declassified to Gavi, but we can now sell the wine as Gavi di Gavi and seal it under screwcap. The wine is scented and delicate, with hints of lime zest on the nose and fruit with a lovely zip and verve on the palate."
