Garganega / Trebbiano
Cinciallegra 2022
Il Roccolo di Monticelli

Grape Variety: Garganega, Trebbiano di Soave

Producer: Il Roccolo di Monticelli (Silvia Tezza)

Region: Vallata di Mazzane, Verona, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 4/5

Winemaking: Organic Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes were harvested by hand and fermented on the skins with indigenous yeast. Aged in tank before being bottled with original must to re-start the fermentation process inside the bottle. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Orange sparkling wine made in the Italian ancestral method. This is a classy and complex fizz that showcases delicate mineral notes alongside subtle stone fruit flavours and a touch of citrus skin. Great as an aperitif or a light food dish. Cinciallegra is the Italian name for the Blue Tit bird.

Notes on the Winemaker: Silvia Tezza is a young winemaker in Veneto who studied agricultural science before becoming a winemaker in the hills of Valleta di Mazzane near Verona. She avoids adding anything in the winemaking process.
