The wine : Galapia (translate as "Rascal" or "Scamp") is a cuvée of pure pleasure reflecting the beautiful renewal of Bergerac wines.

A total success full of freshness and drinkability. A real favorite to share!

The estate : Arriving from Italy to France in the 1920s, the Conti family settled from the outset in the South-West, in the heart of the Bergerac region. From the 1960s, Albert, the youngest of the siblings, embarked on the winemaking adventure and cultivated a few hectares of vines. Francis, Albert's son, succeeded him and for a time managed the vines in a cooperative cellar. In the 1990s, he decided to join forces with his cousin Luc at Château Tour des Gendres, the family's other wine estate created by Primo Conti, Albert's older brother. In 2022, a new chapter began and the estate was finally split in two. Guillaume, Francis's son, then took charge of 30 hectares and created the Domaine Albert de Conti with his brother Paul and Yann Lecoindre, cellar master. The trio work in organic farming and create a delicious range of cuvées. Sometimes serious and complex, but also convivial and festive, these wines are available in AOC Bergerac and Côtes de Bergerac. Discover their wines, you won't be disappointed!
