Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 70% Freisa, 30% Nebbiolo

Location: Piedmont, Italy

Tasting Notes: Opens with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and red currant, layered with subtle hints of leather, truffle, and stone. On the palate, it is fresh, lively, and fruit-forward, supported by snappy tannins that are firm yet never overpowering. Notes of spice, such as anise and pepper, mingle with gentle earthy undertones, adding complexity and depth. Light to medium-bodied, perfumed, and energetic, GioGio captures the classic natural expression of Freisa, offering both vibrancy and elegance in every sip.

Notes: The winemaking of Summer Wolff’s GioGio 2022 reflects a natural, minimal-intervention approach. About 80% of the grapes ferment spontaneously in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, while the remaining 20% are pressed immediately to help balance the wine. The must undergoes roughly ten days of maceration on the skins before aging for several months in cement tanks, which preserve freshness and purity. Bottling is carried out unfiltered and unfined, with only minimal intervention, resulting in a wine that remains true to its terroir. With residual sugar at just 0.7 g/L and total SO₂ around 40 mg/L

Food pairing: Summer Wolff’s GioGio is a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with aged Piedmontese cheeses such as Bra stagionato, as well as a wide range of charcuterie and salumi. Its lively fruit and earthy undertones make it a natural match for mushroom risotto or other rustic pasta dishes, while its firm yet approachable tannins complement herb-grilled meats like lamb, pork, or game. Together, these pairings highlight the wine’s balance of freshness, spice, and depth, making it equally suited for casual gatherings or more refined meals.

Winery Story: Summer Wolff, originally from the U.S., founded Azienda Agricola Summer Wolff in Piedmont with her husband Fabrizio. The estate focuses on natural winemaking, highlighting local varieties like Freisa. GioGio is named after their son Gioacchino, making the wine both a family tribute and a showcase of Piedmont’s terroi
