Orange colored wine, the result of the particular processing of white grapes, macerated in contact with the skins

Santa Colomba is a very recent project, inaugurated under the current management in 2016, but with very clear ideas. The creators of this new chapter in a story that began way back in the 10th century are Marco Dani And Gianfranco Mistrorigo , respectively agronomist and oenologist of the company, with which Franco Giacosa also collaborates. On the hill of Villa San Fermo in Lonigo, the western offshoot of the Berici Hills, today there are 8 and a half hectares of vineyards, first and foremost Garganega – The local vine – but also Istrian Malvasia and cultivars Bordeaux. Marco and Gianfranco immediately chose the organic path (the certification obviously comes into force in 2019), with the aim of making the botanical variety of a hill live and support where, next to the historic villa, stands a splendid English park rich in trees and numerous plant species.

The approach during the winemaking phase is fully consistent with the viticultural one: spontaneous fermentations are entrusted to a pied de cuve from indigenous yeasts, the refinements take place on the fine lees, without any forced clarification, but limiting themselves to coarse filtration before being bottled, if necessary. The management of sulphites is prudent and commensurate with the real needs of the individual wines. The final result is surprisingly fine and elegant.
