Garganega
Cool Fondo 2023
Belloca

Grape Variety: Garganega

Producer: Belloca (Alessandro Milan & Francesca Carrettoni)

Region: Val Tramigna, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 3/5

Vegan friendly wine

9% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Garganega grapes were sourced from a nearby organic grower and spent 5 days on the skins before fermentation with indigenous yeast.  Must was added to the wine to cause a second fermentation in the bottle. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural sparkling skin contact wine that shows an amber colour in the glass. Easy going and light in alcohol but still offers a lovely concentration of lemon, herbs and minerals. Best served as an aperitif or as a palate cleanser after dinner.

Notes on the Winemaker: Belloca is the winemaking project of Alessandro Milan & Francesca Carrettoni who farms in the eastern part of the Veneto. The couple met whilst working together in another vineyard in the region before deciding to plat their own vines in 2021. Now they produce honest and characterful wines through organic and biodynamic processes whilst adding nothing in the cellar.
