Pinot Bianco / Garganega
Nina 2024
Xodo

Grape Variety: Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc), Garganega

Producer: Davide Xodo

Region: Colli Berici, Vicenza, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 3/5

Vegan friendly wine

11.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Garganega and Pinot Bianco grapes grown on limestone soil were harvested by hand. Mainly direct press with a small amount of macerated grapes. Fermentation with indigenous yeast and aged in a combination of concrete vats and ceramic eggs for 10 months. No fining or filtration and just a small amount of sulphur added.

This Wine: Natural wine that in previous vintages has more of a skin contact profile whereas for this 2024 vintage drinks more like a white wine (direct press). Clean and mineral with notes of citrus, peach and grape alongside herbal elements. 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. In September 2025, we visited his beautiful winery that looks out over the Colli Berici and were treated to an awesome BBQ!
