Winemaking: Organic Garganega and Pinot Bianco grapes grown on limestone soil were harvested by hand. The grapes were crushed and spent 1 week on the skins. Fermentation with indigenous yeast and aged in concrete vats for 6 months. No fining or filtration and just a small amount of sulphur added.

This Wine: Natural skin contact wine which sits somewhere between white and orange in colour. Clean and mineral with notes of orange, elderflower, grape and ginger. Dry with fresh acidity. Great by itself or with a salty food dish. The wine is named after Davide's daughter.

Notes on the Winemaker:  Davide Xodo learnt winemaking in Bierzo and Chianti Classico before returning to his homeland in Vicenza to start his own project back in 2018. he works five hectares of vines and produces perfectly balanced wines that are fresh and fruit-forward.
