Fabio Gea Onde Gravitazionali Rosso 2022
Fabio GeaGrape: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Native Grapes
Vintage: 2022
Type: Red
Named for gravitational waves, this low-intervention red blend combines nebbiolo, barbera, and native wild grapes from inherited plots in Bricco di Neive. Winemaker Fabio Gea co-ferments the hand-picked fruit after a two-week maceration, relying entirely on native vineyard yeasts. Aged inside custom-designed porcelain and stoneware jars without wood barrels or mechanical filtration, this vintage-led cuvée establishes an authentic, site-driven identity. The unique vessel maturation protects fresh fruit purity and natural balance.
It pours a luminous ruby color with garnet highlights, releasing clean aromas of red cherries, white pepper, and wild brush. On the palate, the medium-bodied, fluid frame balances a concentrated fruit core with a firm line of fine-grained tannins. Clear flavors of cranberry and pomegranate fold smoothly into a distinct undertone of dry clay. The porcelain aging provides a supple roundness that keeps the mid-palate weightless. It finishes dry and persistent, leaving a lingering stony trace.
