{"title":"Cascina Gilli","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Castelnuovo Don Bosco, among the hills of Piedmont’s Asti Monferrato, \u003cb\u003eCascina Gilli\u003c\/b\u003e has championed local grapes since 1983. Founded by Gianni Vergnano, the estate is now guided by his son Paolo together with Davide Gasperini and Federico Mussetto. Its eighteenth-century farmhouse anchors a project dedicated to the character of a less familiar corner of Piedmont. Freisa, Malvasia di Schierano, Bonarda, Barbera and Nebbiolo grow on clay-rich hills underlain by the celebrated Sant’Agata marls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreisa is the estate’s defining interest: an expressive native red variety explored through research and different interpretations, rather than treated as a footnote to Piedmont’s better-known wines. Aromatic Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco offers another distinctive introduction to the region. Cascina Gilli’s strength is this combination of local knowledge and curiosity, preserving native varieties while finding fresh ways to present them. Its independent-grower ethos and integrated-farming certification reinforce that connection to place. For adventurous wine drinkers, the estate offers an engaging discovery: Piedmont with its own voice, family continuity and an appealing sense of individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cascina-gilli-gilli-rosato-extra-dry-nv","title":"Cascina Gilli Gilli Rosato Extra Dry NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eCascina Gilli's Gilli Rosato Extra Dry is a fragrant sparkling rose from Piedmont, made with Malvasia di Schierano.
