🍇 Durella 📍 Veneto

🍷 Soft & Textural Whites

Tasting Notes

Durella from San Giovanni Ilarione in Veneto - combining mineral crispness with a rounded character from extended lees contact.

Rich notes of marzipan, yogurt, sourdough, and toasted nuts on both the nose and palate, light floral aromatics, tangerine and citrus fruit flavours, subtle apricot and nectarine, with a zesty minerality on the finish.

Smooth in character, with a creamy-lush texture, dry, and medium bodied, crisp mineral acidity which reveals itself on the finish.

Nerd Notes

Durello (Durella) from San Giovanni Ilarione - Lessini, Veneto, Italy

Grapes are destemmed and pressed, with free-run juice being fermented in large 30hl Slavonian and 20hl French oak barrels.

Aged on suspended yeasts in barrel until a month before bottling, then rested in bottled for a year and a half before release.

Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal added sulphhur.

Daniele Piccinin works 7ha of vines in the commune of San Giovanni Ilarione in Veneto: an idealic hilly area, with vineyards situated between 300 and 500 metres above sea level on calcareous hills.

Piccinin sees himself as a custodian of the land, caring for it with organic viticulture, biodynamic practices, and cultivating a harmonious and complex ecosystem, imparting a rich minerality on his wines.
