Embracing the essence of tradition, family and passion, the winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional local wines, born from the meticulous selection of sun-kissed grapes thriving in the ideal cultivation conditions of their native vineyards. The legacy of viticulture within the Lavorata family traces back to Luigi, who in the mid-1800s, laid the foundation for this enduring passion. His son, Domenico, fervently carried forward his father's love for winemaking. In 1958, Vincenzo, the second of twelve children, imbued each bottle with meticulous care, sharing the fruits of his labour throughout Italy. The journey of wine production flourished under Ilario, Domenico's eleventh child, as he harmoniously intertwined the values of tradition and family with innovation and globalization. In a remarkably short span, their wines captivated foreign markets, particularly in Belgium and Germany. Today, the winery is fervently nurtured by Domenico, Ilario's son, an esteemed oenologist overseeing vineyards and production, along with Adele, tending to the administrative aspects, and Domenico and Danilo, sons of Vincenzo, entrusted with managing the commercial endeavours. Through the synergistic efforts of the family, an unwavering commitment to tradition and the fastidious selection of native vines, Cantine Lavorata has propelled the production of \"particular\" wines, revered by both national and international markets. The numerous accolades and recognitions garnered by their wines stand as a testament to their unwavering dedication and a profound source of pride, inspiring them to further elevate their land through the art of winemaking. Specializing in promoting Calabrian wines cultivated from some of the oldest native vines in the world, Cantine Lavorata has expanded its investment in production and vineyards to other localities, including Sicily, cementing their commitment to sharing the rich heritage and exceptional flavours of their land through the art of winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cantine Lavorata Nero D'Avola, hailing from the controlled designation of origin Sicily, boasts 100% Nero d'Avola grapes from the south-western area of the region, cultivated at elevations of 200 to 400 meters above sea level in clayey-limestone soil. The hand-harvested grapes undergo red vinification with cold fermentation and are subsequently refined for 6 months in barrique, followed by storage in stainless steel containers. This purplish-red wine presents a compact, clear and consistent visual profile, while its olfactory allure is marked by intense, complex and fine aromas, including fruity notes of black cherry, ripe plum, wild strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by floral nuances, leather, undergrowth, raw walnut husk, woody tones and a hint of cloves.

Driven by the vision of Paolo and Guido Sartirano, Cascina Ghercina is a testament to their passion for Piedmontese wines, a dedication to offering wine aficionados a selection that exudes both quality and tradition. The cellar's unwavering commitment to honouring the land, relentless pursuit of excellence, and profound passion are values deeply ingrained, passed down through generations and now harmoniously fused with modern technological advancements.

Its prominence surged in the nineteenth century when it was favoured for the production of wines intended for widespread consumption. While the area dedicated to this grape variety has diminished over time, it continues to command significant attention, leading to close competition with the revered Nebbiolo variety. Known for its robust nature and deep red colour, Barbera stands as the most prevalent grape variety in Piedmont, both in terms of surface area and territory. Characterized by compact grape clusters and leaves that turn a vibrant red in autumn, Barbera yields wines that offer a delightful freshness in the mouth, owing to the inherent acidity of this grape. Depending on the specific terroir in which it is cultivated, Barbera has the potential to produce wines with exceptional structure, often suitable for aging in oak, showcasing the versatility and depth of this esteemed grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarbera, the quintessential Piedmontese grape, embodies tradition and stands as the daily protagonist of the rural local world. This wine captivates with an astonishing olfactory finesse and sweetness. Its precious ruby colour eloquently attests to the grapes' maturity at harvest, foreshadowing the presence of ripe fruit and subtle liquorice notes that gracefully unfold on the palate. With a smooth, velvety texture, it imparts a delightful warmth, leaving a lingering sensation that evokes the luxurious touch of velvet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCascina Ghercina Barbera d'Alba 2021 is a prime example of 100% Barbera from the Langhe region, crafted through meticulous vinification including crushing, destemming, and fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C, followed by an 8-day maceration on the skins with daily pumping of the must over the cap and subsequent aging in oak casks. This wine presents a rich structure, an expansive bouquet featuring ripe fruit and a mouth-filling, long finish. Perfectly complementing fondue, lasagna, stewed meat, grilled fillet and mature cheeses, it offers a versatile culinary pairing. With a cellar life of 5 years and best served at a temperature of 16° - 18° C, this Barbera d'Alba 2021 embodies the essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition and is poised to delight discerning palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Barbera d'Alba\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Italy\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Piedmont\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2021\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cascina Ghercina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39257404342359,"sku":"CGBDA","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/cascina-ghercina-barbera-d_alba.webp?v=1709090350"},{"product_id":"cantine-lavorata-greco-nero-2017","title":"Cantine Lavorata Greco Nero 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eTradition, family and passion are the hallmarks of Cantine Lavorata winery.
