FABIO GEA CUL OTTE 2022
Bricco di Nieve / Piedmont // Italy

The wine’s name is “underpants”; in such that the estate's sickle and rake logo (which Fabio has said is intentionally to resemble a human backside) have a crude drawing of a pair on them. Bottled in second-hand Travaglini Gattinara bottles that Fabio found in an old warehouse. He worries what he will do when he runs out. 

Cul Otte 2022 is made from Nebbiolo grapes, destemmed and macerated for 2-3 weeks, then fermented and aged in stoneware and porcelain. A juicy Nebbiolo with an incredible drinkability. Red fruits and wild berries

About the Producer

One of the craziest, funny and provocative winemakers we've met, Fabio Gea was a geologist by trade and has traveled around the world to study agriculture and soil conditions, but his world view is a constant chaos of new ideas and peculiar whims making him possibly somewhere between a genius and a madman.

The 1.8 hectares Fabio farms is from his grandfather Nòtu, (diminutive for Giuseppe in dialect). It is made up of small parcels around different parts of Barbaresco mostly near the Bricco.

Fabio gradually developed his own sensitivity and approach to working in the vineyard heavily inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka. The cellar work is low-tech, manual and unmistakably Fabio. Stainless steel is gradually being phased out in favor of ceramics, porcelain, glass, cement and wood. Going so far as to craft his own porcelain amphoras. No temperature control, cultured yeast, fining or filtration, and the addition of sulphur is completely omitted for a large proportion of his cuvées.

He produces around 5000 bottles a year of 18 different wines. Some wines are traditional, others definitely outside-the-box.
