Vespaiola / Garganega
Supernova 2022
Turco

Grape Variety: 90% Vespaiola, 10% Garganega

Producer: Marco Turco

Region: Breganze, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 5/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Vespaiola and Garganega grapes were harvested by hand. 2 days on the skins and fermented with indigenous yeast. Must from the grapes was then used to kickstart a second fermentation and the wine was bottled at that moment. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural sparkling orange wine made in the Pet Nat style. This is characterful and concentrated fizz with tropical fruit and green notes (maybe even jalapeño!) along with a really interesting smokey layer of complexity. Medium bodied with a pleasant touch of tannin. Not your average Pet Nat!

Notes on the Winemaker: Marco Turco is a young winemaker in Breganze, Veneto. This area is famous for a sweet wine made from the Vespaiola grape but Marco is moving things in a different direction with his skin contact and dry "Vespasi" wine. We are excited to see what he does next.
