Domaine Albert de Conti - Bergerac - Galapia 2023

ORGANIC

Key words: Fruity / Pleasure / Session wine

The wine: Galapia (translate "Rascal") is a vintage of pure pleasure reflecting the beautiful renewal of the wines of Bergerac. Presenting a seductive and bright red color, juicy aromas of cherry and strawberry appear on the palate, supported by a touch of pepper as well as by a very fine tannic structure. A total success full of freshness and good humor. A favorite to share!

The estate: Arrival from Italy to France in the 1920s, The Conti family settled from the start in the South-West, in the heart of Bergeracois. 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, will take over and manage the vines in a cooperative cellar for a time. In the 1990s, he decided to join forces with his cousin Luc at Château Tour des Gendres, the another wine property in the family created by Primo Conti, Albert's big brother. In 2022, a new chapter is written and the property is finally split in two. Guillaume, Francis' 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 works in organic farming and creates a delicious range of vintages. Sometimes serious and complex, but also jovial and festive, the latter are available in AOC Bergerac and Côtes de Bergerac. Discover their wines, you will not be disappointed!
