Gilbert & Gaillard : 13 gold and 1 silver medals

Cabert starts the 2022 harvest with fireworks: 14 wines, awarded with 13 gold medals and 1 silver.

The wines presented this year at the Gilbert & Gaillard International Competition range from products with selected grapes from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, to lowland wines, also in Bag in Box format.

Here are some awarded wines, with relative medals and tasting notes:

RIBOLLA GIALLA BRUT CABERT

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Brilliant light hue with green tints. Pleasant nose showing pear, grapefruit and floral scents. Ethereal, energetic palate expressing exuberant, crisp flavours. Generous effervescence adds to the feeling of freshness.

PROSECCO DOC CABERT

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Pale yellow. Crisp nose of fresh white fruits with a floral sensation. Beautiful density on the palate with indulgent, tight fruit-driven volume and a rich mouthfeel. A charming Prosecco where the finish leans towards exoticism. Fresh and unusual. 

PROSECCO DOC ROSE’ CABERT

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Light orange. Rich, fine nose of citrus, red berry fruits and melon. Lovely clean aromatics on the palate promoted by bold bubbles. Moreish, palatable finish. A likeable wine displaying very companionable fruit. 

PINOT GRIGIO CABERT

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Pale yellow. White fruit notes, dried fruits and a floral edge on the nose. Fresh aromatics and fleshy fruit density are key themes on the palate. Clean flavours instil the wine with lovely drive.

SAUVIGNON CABERT STORIA

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Brilliant light yellow. Expressive nose combining flint, citrus fruits and blackcurrant bud. Great grip on the palate which is fleshy, rich and expressive and develops a lovely exotic edge. Energy and persistence are there too in this beautiful wine. 

FRIULANO CABERT STORIA

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Pale yellow-gold. Pleasant nose marrying citrus fruits, white flowers and a lick of fern. Supple, rich palate supported by chiselled freshness and beautiful aromatic intensity flowing into a saline and mineral finish. A beautifully crafted, harmonious wine. 

For the Cantina di Bertiolo, receiving 4 gold and 1 silver medals for its wines in Bag in Box is a great achievement and recognition, as it competed with bottled wines from all over the world.

PINOT NERO

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Beautiful light red. Very pure nose of red berry fruits. The palate is freshly styled, fleshy and fruity. This is a simple, easy-going wine that would make the perfect partner for all cold meats.

RIBOLLA GIALLA

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Clear, light yellow. Endearing fruity nose accented by peach and melon. The same delightful aromatics continue on the palate which is fleshy, fresh and very well-balanced. A festive and refreshing wine for summer.

TRAMINER

PREMIO: MEDAGLIA D’ORO

Beautiful clear, light yellow. Expressive nose accented by flowers and tropical fruits. The same, very distinctive aromas carry over to the palate which stays nicely fresh. Would work with Asian or sweet and sour dishes.

MERLOT

AWARD: GOLD MEDAL

Beautiful, medium deep garnet. Garden berries recalling ripe redcurrants on the nose. Light, fruity, fleshy palate with a pleasant tangy touch. A simple, easy-going wine.

SAUVIGNON

AWARD: SILBER MEDAL

Brilliant yellow-gold. Nose of white flowers and super ripe tangy fruits. The palate is generous and powerful with a heady feel combining floral and honeyed notes.
