Description: La Giustiniana, founded in the 1200s by Cistercian monks, is Gavi’s most historic estate, and its location in Rovereto di Gavi is at the very heart of Piedmont’s most famous white wine appellation. The estate was purchased by the noble Giustiniana family in the late 1500’s. By 1611, it returned to the hands of the church, where it stayed until 1798 when Napoleon seized all the ecclesiastic estates in the Republic of Genova. In 2016, La Giustiniana was re-born under the ownership of Stefano Massone and Magdalena Pedrini, who both have a long history in Gavi wine. Their goal for the estate is simple: to glorify the classic perfumes of the Cortese variety through attention to detail and scrupulous care of their vineyards.
