Cantina Giardino
Gaia 2020
Fiano
Campania, Italy
For better or worse, and maybe due to the saturation of their wines in Los Angeles, or one too many glasses at Bandini back in the day, Cantina Giardino are one of those producers that I find easy to forget about. I have to check myself sometimes, and recently, over an epic dinner at Brawn in London with friends both American and Brit, at a table that ended up being full of empty unicorn bottles by the end of the night, Giardino’s Gaia was, admittedly, the wine that lingered in my mind the most after. A gently psychedelic foraged flower tea of a wine, Gaia is perhaps one of Daniela and Antonio’s standard bearing white wines—benchmark stuff from the hills of Campania.
