LA MESMA PIEMONT, ITALY

La Mesma is a family-owned winery in Gavi, Piedmont, Italy, managed by the Rosina sisters: Paola (an art historian), Francesca (a biologist), and Anna (a lawyer). In 2000 they purchased a five-acre summer home in Monterotondo, Gavi. Encouraged by their mother, Mariangela, they began cultivating grapes, leading to the establishment of La Mesma winery. Over the years, they expanded their holdings to 247 acres, with 62 acres under vine, spanning Gavi’s three distinct soil types. Now, nearly a quarter century on, the trio has honed their skills and are vinifying some of the finest Cortese in Gavi. The sisters are dedicated to sustainable and organic farming practices, focusing exclusively on the Cortese grape variety to produce Gavi DOCG wines. Their commitment to quality and environmental stewardship has positioned La Mesma as a notable producer in the region.
