The Cantina di Gambellara was founded in 1947 and has nearly 300 members who farm 600 hectares. The co-op is based in a small denomination on the border between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona only a few miles east of Soave. Last year, this cantina merged with the Cantina dei Colli Vicentini (from whom
we buy the Ca’ di Alte wines) and Alberto Marchisio is now responsible for the winemaking, with Matt Thomson as consultant.
The Durella grapes are an ancient autochthonous variety grown in the Lessinia area. Durella was traditionally made into a fruity and sparkling dry wine for the area.
This wine is pale yellow in colour with delicate aromas of papaya and plums. On the nose, there are fresh notes of saline minerality and apple. The finish is fine and long.
