Marchese Luca Spinola 'Carlo' Gavi del comune di Gavi 2022

One of the oldest and most illustrious of Genovese families, the Spinolas date back to the 10th century. The family’s Tassarola estate lies in Gavi. Prior to 2006, the fruit was sold until Andrea and Nora Spinola, fresh from working in Milan decided to dedicate their lives to their Cortese vines – a grape first documented in 1630. Fanned by sea breezes coming up from the Mediterranean to the south. In 2014 he converted the estate to organic farming and named each wine after one of his sons.

The Carlo is produced from 100% Cortese, this straw-yellow wine with faint greenish highlights has a delicate floral bouquet, which conveys the essence of the grape.
