 New blood in established win areas is always a good thing, brings some fresh perspectives and keeps things evolving and moving forward. La Ghibellina was established in the early 2000s by husband and wife Marina and Alberto, and while neither has a family tie to winemaking or viticulture they have deep connections to the region as a whole (Marina coming from a lineage of regional artists, Alberto from nearby Genova representing Italy in water polo at multiple Olympics). Their success in other life pursuits has also translated to success in the vineyards, as their small organic farm has achieved great quality in their whites and reds (even some sparkling wines!). This is quintessential Gavi, and considering the Gavi di Gavi commune is considered the very best of the region, it's also an impressive value. Clean and clear character, full of leesy white fruits, hay and cut flower aromas with tiny pops of dried herbs. The palate is round and dry but not stern, with lots of round green apple and refreshingly tart acidity to the finish that gets brighter and longer after every sip. A great year round white option for lighter fish and poultry dishes, clean and super dependable.
