Vino Bianco "Gino"

2021
Italy
Piedmont

100% Erbaluce. Planted in high hills on the volcanic soils of Boca DOC in Alto Piemonte, the few rows of vines in this tiny parcel average 40 years old, are organically farmed and harvested by hand. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. Maceration lasts about 2 weeks. The wine is aged in steel, racked twice and bottled with minimal sulfur. Not produced annually and only in miniscule quantities if at all. There is no DOC designation for Erbaluce in Alto Piemonte. "Gino" was vignaiolo Ivano Barbaglia's grandfather; the very personal label is a page out of Gino's French notebook, in which he was conjugating "boire", French for "to drink".
