Vintage: 2022
Type: Red
Fabio Gea DNAss 2022 is a unique, natural Nebbiolo red wine from Piedmont, Italy, known for its unconventional production, including fermentation and aging in homemade porcelain/stoneware vessels submerged in water, giving it a pale, translucent ruby color with red fruit, earthy, and spicy notes, offering a wild, pure expression of terroir. The name "DNAss" is backward for "SAND," referencing the sandy soils, and the wine is part of Gea's "dinosaur" series, showcasing minimal intervention winemaking.
Fabio Gea:
Fabio is a young winemaker making delicious, distinctive wines from tiny parcels around the Bricco in Barbaresco. He makes 18 different wines with a total production of around 5,000 bottles.
He has a few rows of vines from his grandfather’s property and rents a few more. Within the family’s property, there is Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, and Grignolino, which amount to less than one hectare.
A geologist turned winemaker, the handmade labels, bottles, and aging are uniquely Fabio Gea. We find these wines fascinating, one of our great joys is having such distinctive wines. Organic (not certified)
