MISIA 2021, VINI SASSARA

Situated just outside Verona, in the Morainic Hills near Lake Garda, Vini Sassara is a new project from longtime natural winemakers Alessia and Stefano Bertaiola. With a background in agricultural research and development, Alessia joined forces with third-generation winemaker Stefano more than a decade ago and together they farm a 10-hectare site that has been in Stefano’s family for 50 years. This is Bardolino country, a DOC in the Veneto region most famous for its Valpolicella-style light reds and rosé wines,  but Alessia and Stefano have instead set out to show what the indigenous grapes and terroir are capable of when allowed to express themselves naturally.

A traditional blend of Trebbiano, Garganega and Tocai. Spontaneous fermentation with 3 days skin maceration and without temperature control. Aged in stainless steel. No filtering or fining and minimal added sulfur as necessary.

This is super dry but gentle, bright, mineral, citrus fruit on stone
