More About Lugarara Gavi di Gavi

This estate covers 110 hectares in the heart of the commune of Rovereto in Gavi. Originally, this land was part of a Benedictine convent which was bought by the Giustiniani, a military family from the Republic of Genoa, in 1625. Wine was already produced from the then 40 hectares of vineyards, since the Benedictine monks cultivated the first vines planted here. Today, the winery is managed by Magda Pedrini and the production is focussed on showing the potential of Gavi di Gavi from the two single vineyards of the estate: Lugarara and Montessora. The two vineyards sit side by side at 300 metres above sea level, but they have very different soils and showcase two very different expressions of the Cortese grape

Meet the Producer, Lugarara

Lugarara

Style: Winery

Italian Pinot Grigio has spent years suffering from its own success. Too many bland supermarket versions turned a genuinely useful grape into shorthand for “safe white wine”. Lugarara reminds you the style can still be crisp, fresh and properly enjoyable when somebody pays attention.

Produced in northern Italy around Veneto, Lugarara leans into the cleaner, lighter end of Italian white wine. Pinot Grigio forms the backbone of the range, bringing citrus, pear and soft orchard fruit alongside that faint almond-like bitterness good Italian examples often carry underneath. Freshness matters more here than power.

Northern Italy suits this style perfectly. Cooler nights help preserve acidity, while warm daytime temperatures still allow enough ripeness for texture and fruit character. The result tends to be wines that feel bright and uncomplicated without drifting into complete neutrality.

What works nicely with wines like Lugarara is versatility. Cold glass after work, seafood pasta, grilled vegetables, picnic wine, all covered without much effort. The best Pinot Grigio often operates almost invisibly in the background. Not boring exactly, just extremely easy to keep drinking.

There’s also something reassuringly Italian about the whole approach. Wine as part of everyday life rather than an intellectual exercise. Crisp white wine, decent food, conversation getting gradually louder as the evening goes on. Hard to argue with really.
