Ghes
This was born from an idea generated by Dario and his late friend, Cesare, who wanted to make a sparkling rose from the Corvina grape which would capture the freshness and youthful delicacy of this variety. The name Ghes comes from the Greek ‘from the Earth’ and demonstrates the close ties with the land celebrated by the family.
