Gias is a white wine from Valtellina, produced and offered here by Rivetti & Lauro. This is an interesting experimentation by the beautiful Lombardy winery that comes from a marriage of Nebbiolo, in its Chiavennasca variety, and Chardonnay. Grapes from the Tirano area, in the province of Sondrio, where the vineyards are raised on small terraces carved out of the steep mountain slopes. It starts with a manual selection of the grapes, which, once they reach the winery, are soft-pressed to obtain a rich, sugary must. This is followed by a slow phase of cold static decantation and, after the inoculation of selected yeasts, fermentation, which in this case takes place in small stainless steel tanks. This is followed by about 9 months of aging in steel and oak barrels. A pleasant, harmonious and well-balanced white, it is a wine characterized by a nice complex drinkability, soft and intense.
