While Gea is widely celebrated for his avant-garde, boundary-pushing winemaking, his \u003ci\u003eGreen Palma\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a beautifully pure and slightly more accessible showcase of classic Langhe fruit structure. The grapes are completely destemmed and undergo a three-week native maceration. In the cellar, Gea utilizes a hybrid aging regime, combining small neutral wooden barrels with his custom-engineered stoneware jars. This approach allows the wine to soften naturally without being dominated by oak flavors. Bottled with minimal sulfur, unfined, and unfiltered, it clocks in at 15% alcohol but retains a masterfully balanced freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it pours a dark, vibrant ruby-purple color with bright magenta glints. The aromatics are remarkably expressive and clean, bursting with notes of tart cranberry, black raspberry, fresh potting soil, and a lovely kick of exotic baking spices. On the palate, a \"crystalline\" core of electric, high-toned acidity—the true signature of the Barbera grape—slices directly through the wine's rich, concentrated body, making the alcohol feel completely weightless. The fine, rounded tannins provide a supple, structural frame that shapes the mouthfeel without adding heavy astringency. It glides into a balanced, mouthwatering finish that leaves a persistent trace of dark stones, floral cherry skin, and a lingering touch of savory spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fabio Gea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49861109776624,"sku":"ASSIGN","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Fabio-Gea-greenpalma-2021_e39e178c-1315-4052-b8ac-8818f3db4443.jpg?v=1760161691","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/fabio-gea-la-msoira-el-rastel-green-palma-barbera-dalba-2022","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
