This one feels like a breeze coming off the lake. Piona, a small family estate working near Lake Garda, leans into a style that’s all about clarity and ease, farming with care and letting the fruit speak without weight or excess.

100% Cortese from Piedmont.  Piona are a low intervention producer who farm organically.  The wines are raised in stainless steel, preserving its excellent acidity.  What distinguishes Piona from other Gavi we have tasted is quite simply flavour.  There is no neutrality to these wines - they are delicious.

Bricco delle Farfalle is Piona's single vineyard Gavi and derives its name from the hill where the fruit was sourced where butterflies are abundant.  Bricco delle Farfalle meaning hill of the butterflies in Piedmontese dialect.

It’s not trying to impress you. It just slowly wins you over, glass by glass.
