Filippo Gamba reliably produces top-class wines. His two interpretations of the Terreni Bianchi - from white, i.e. chalky soil - on the western foothills of the Colli Euganei are excellent examples of this. The white version is taut, straightforward and profound and the same can be said of the f...
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...

A rosé from the Andalusian Alpujarras, from one of the highest Pinot Noir vineyards in the world. At 1300 metres, freshness and fruit are guaranteed, but the intense light reflecting off the slate soils and the often scorching summer heat during the day also ensure that the sugar is stored in the...
In the Cerro Las Monjas vineyard of Barranco Oscuro in the Alpujarras - the southern part of the Sierra Nevada - Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grow on a few hectares of vines. Despite the altitude, the vines produce perfectly ripe grapes every year, which is hardl...
If you are looking for classic Chardonnay, you should keep looking. If, on the other hand, you fancy a little Andalusian avant-garde, you should find what you are looking for.
The Cardonohay is full-bodied, dense, mineral and even accompanied by a little fruit and is definitely reminiscent of C...

For centuries, Vigiriega was one of the most important white grape varieties in the south of Spain. It was at home on the Canary Islands and in the area around Granada, but then phylloxera came and killed it off - for good. The fact that it exists again today is due in part to Manuel Valenzuela,...
The Valenzuelas are the undisputed pioneers of the increasingly prominent Spanish natural winegrowers: they rely on the natural defences of their vines and on a climate that dries up the little moisture (occasional clouds that cover the fields with dew in the morning) in a very short time throug...
In the three dozen varieties of comprehensive ampelographic smorgasbord of the Valenzuela family, of course there is also Viagnier. This is a good idea because Viagnier actually wants to mature perfectly to reveal all of your advantages. And although Barranco Oscuro's Viagnierweingarten is also ...
The Alpujarras are a wild mountain region in the east of Andalusia. Characterized by steep valleys and a landscape that was crowded by rocks and Mediterranean bushes, their remote canyons and gorges in the 15th century were the last retreat of many Muslims that were driven out of Granada during ...
Tres Uves - three grape varieties - three times V for Vigiriega, Viognier and Vermentino.
Vigiriega plays the Spanish part in this southern European trio. For a long time one of the most important white grape varieties in the south of Spain, phylloxera put an end to it a good 100 years ago. The ...
Around 30 grape varieties grow on the 10 hectares of vineyards at Barranco Oscuro. 31 is what Lorenzo Valenzuela once said a few years ago, but one or two may have been added in the meantime. The Valenzuelas try things out, see what suits their rather unique terroir best and have no fear of conta...
Manuel and Lorenzo Valenzuela own 1200 Pedro Ximenez vines. They are not rooted in chalky Alabariza soils near the Atlantic in Jerez, where PX has its ancestral home, but in grey-brown slate at 1300 metres in the Andalusian Alpujarras.
Although the two share the intentions of their fellow winema...
Lambrusco is a single big misunderstanding that fades into several small ones. One of the smaller ones is, for example, that Lambrusco is the same as Lambrusco is called, it is said that a single grape variety is made. Instead, Lambrusco is a grape family family that consists of many different me...
