L1 2022
Spillare

Grape Variety: 95% Garganega, 5% Durella

Producer: Davide Spillare

Region: Gambellara, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

11.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Garganega grapes grown on volcanic soils were hand harvested and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeast. In Spring, must from the original harvest was added to the wine and it was bottled. This caused a short fermentation with the fizz trapped inside the bottle.  No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural sparkling white wine with a lovely concentration and depth of fruit despite only being 11.5% alcohol. Herbal, floral and honeyed with a beautiful texture. So much character for a wine at this price. Enjoy as an aperitif. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Davide Spillare farms 3 hectares of vines planted on volcanic soils in the province of Vicenza. Garganega is the dominant variety in this part of Veneto which Davide used for still and sparkling wines along with some Merlot in his red. He worked with Angiolino Maule before releasing his first vintage in 2007.
