Carmenère actually comes from Bordeaux. For a long time, the red grape variety challenged Cabernet Sauvignon for pole position there, before it disappeared completely from the vineyards of the French noble region as a consequence of the invasion of grapes and the difficulty of finding suitable r...

Moscato Bianco has been at home in the Colli Euganei for centuries, in Filippo Gamba's vineyards for at least 60 years. There, it takes root in lime-dominated soils and produces small, full-bodied berries. In Terreni Bianchi, these share the protagonist role equally with Garganega, the most impor...

Trachite is the omnipresent volcanic rock of the Colli Euganei, which contributed greatly to the former wealth of the hills. Anyone who is not familiar with the geological formation at the moment should briefly recall St Mark's Square in Venice, which is paved with it. Filippo Gamba's Trachit do...

One of them is owned by Alessandro Winkler, who decided in 2012 to add winem...

Pinot Nero has an astonishingly long tradition in the Veneto. This has a lot to do with the lively exchange between monasteries, which founded a kind of World Wine Web in the Middle Ages and brought Pinot Noir (and a few other grape varieties) from France to the most remote corners of Europe - i...

Davide Spillare's trump card is Garganega. He is now dedicating a four-part series to the great white variety of northern Veneto. Many consumers and winegrowers have only realised in recent years that this is a great variety, after Garganega had previously experienced an unparalleled decline in q...

Garganega is a variety that only produces good results if it is grown in a suitable terroir (limestone, volcanic rock, cool influences) and certain viticultural measures are observed. The decisive factor here is a reasonable grape yield that is as far away as possible from five figures per hectar...

The name L1 is derived from the name of Davide Spillare's upper lumbar vertebra, which was broken in a tractor accident a few years ago (as good as the L1 tastes to us, we hope that there will be no L2). The L1 is a Rifermentato, i.e. a wine that undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle afte...

Merlot. Purely varietal, too. We understand that there are people who simply click on to the next wine. And we don't want to be missionaries and take up the cudgels in favour of Merlot, it's just that Davide Spillare makes a truly fantastic wine from it. We do not know whether this is due to the ...

The vines are as thick as tree trunks, deeply anchored in volcanic basalt and fairly resistant to potential fungal diseases.  Small, full...

While he grew up among the vines, it was through him that she first became interested in wine. Initially, she dealt with the bureaucracy alongside a 40-hour job away from the wine industry a...

Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc have long been at home in the Colli Euganei. They were introduced to the volcanic hills south-west of Padua either by Italian day labourers who helped out with the grape harvest in Bordeaux for little money back in the 19th century, or - the stories vary in t...
