Sold Out - Fabio Gea Italian Wine Dinner
June 29 2022 | 5:30 PM - 10:30 PM124 Mitcham Ave, Auburn, AL 36830
Have you ever tried a wine so distinct and without knowing anything about it, you just knew it was special? For Depot GM, Katelyn, it was DNAss by Fabio Gea. When you find a thing so good you might be tempted to keep it to yourself, but in this case, it deserves to be shared. And for the sake of keeping this unique winemaker at the helm continuing to make his precious wines, we are committed to sharing his story. Won’t you join us, and delight in this rare opportunity?
You're invited to celebrate the unique producer, Fabio Gea, from Piedmont. Crafting his wines in a unique way. Fabio Gea's philosophy, personality, and passion for excellence transmits to his rare wines. Inheriting a hectare of land from his grandfather, Fabio Gea manages his vineyards strictly accordingly to biodynamic principles featuring incredibly small but unparalleled productions.
Seen as a highly experimental and avant-garde wine maker, Fabio Gea makes his own wine aging vessels (amphoras) which he lovingly calls his "dinosaur eggs". These wines are energy-charged, combining distinctive fruit and spice which you will not find anywhere else in the world.
On each of his hand-crafted bottled is written "La Msoira e'L Rastel" which is the title name of his estate. In the dialect of Piedmont this translates to "the sickle and the earth" representing doing things the hard way an the right way. Every detail of his wines are artisans: handmade paper, handcrafted blown bottles, and each bottle is hand-numbered for his limited editions.
