Press 4 Mix/White • November 2023 Direct Press Selection
Anabel and Antonio Gismondi have only been making wine since 2018 but the Gismondi family has been cultivating grapes, olives, and vegetables without the use of pesticides or herbicides for many generations. Antonio befriended Massimo Marchiori of Partida Creus when he was living in Barcelona, and with his guidance he began making wine from his family's grapes back in Campania, and they stopped selling their grapes to the cooperative. In just a short time they have quickly been championed by natural wine lovers all over Italy. The family had about three hectares of vines a few hours from Naples in Cerreto Sannita at about 350 meters above sea level. Antonio purchased another two hectares in 2021 to take their total to five hectares, all farmed biodynamically.
There are wines that are popular in the US but not in their home region, and vice versa. Gismondi's wines are extremely popular in Italy but are catching on quickly in New York. It's not hard to see why when you taste them.
'Foresta' is Trebbiano Rosa (pink-skinned variant of Trebbiano) and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica with 2 weeks of skin maceration. Peach and salty pineapple notes with some spicy edge. Mineral and fresh, this is supremely deilcious. Jonathan Kemp
