What is this wine?
Gustinella is a young, artisanal estate in Lazio working with organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. Vino di Confine (“Wine of the Border”) reflects the estate’s philosophy of blending indigenous grapes from parcels that sit on the borderlands of the region. The 2023 bottling is a natural red, crafted in a fresh, vibrant style with no heavy oak or manipulation.

Why get this wine?
This is authentic, small-production Italian winemaking at its most engaging. Vino di Confine delivers joyful, food-friendly drinking while also highlighting Lazio’s emerging new-wave producers. It’s affordable, expressive, and ideal for anyone curious about the natural wine scene in Italy.

What does this wine taste like?
Light to medium-bodied with bright red cherry, wild berries, and hints of spice and herbs. Gentle tannins and lively acidity make it juicy and refreshing, with a subtle earthy finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Serve slightly chilled and enjoy now for maximum freshness. Great with pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, grilled vegetables, or charcuterie.

More about Gustinella

Sonia Gambino cleared out an abandoned garage on Mount Etna and got to work. Hand-fermented, zero oenological products, total respect for the grape—this is natural winemaking done with the kind of precision it deserves. Maletto, at 960 meters, is one of Sicily's coldest villages, and it shows in wines that taste like they arrived from nowhere with a message.
