Contame 2017 - Nevio Scala

Contame - Nevio Scala

The "Contame" is a complex and structured orangewine that is produced from Garganega grapes. The grapes come from vigens grown organically, which are found in the estate of Lozzo Atestino, at the foot of the Euganean Hills, in the province of Padua. After the manual and selected harvest of the grapes, in the cellar the fermentation is spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and a maceration on the skins for about 2 weeks. It is then aged in cement tanks for 18 months before bottling. The "Contame" is orange yellow. The nose offers aromas of ripe yellow fruit, followed by citrus and medicinal herbs. On the palate it is broad, with complex and deep aromas, which stretch towards a soft and harmonious finish.

Service

We recommend tasting at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but will express its best in a few years. In the meantime, it is advisable to keep it in a horizontal position in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

It goes perfectly with first courses with vegetables, second courses of fish, to try with a perch gratin.

Winery: Nevio Scala

Nevio Scala, after having trampled the soccer fields of the whole world first as a player, then as a coach, with his historic enterprises with Parma in the nineties, he decides to change his life and return to his native places, precisely in Lozzo Atestino, to feet of the Euganean Hills to revive its family cellar. A project that focuses on organic farming, far from chemical products, far from the excessive exploitation of natural resources, but rather faithful to a sustainable development model over time. The cultivated hectares are about 6 where we find Garganega, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Istrian Malvasia, white and yellow muscat, all of which rest on volcanic and alluvial soil. The first harvest was in 2016 from which the three wines that for now produce are born: the "Gargànte", refermented in the bottle only on indigenous yeasts, the "Dilètto", still white, and the "Cóntame", a white macerated on the peels, or an "Orange Wine". Three wines that fully reflect the personality of Nevio Scala, respectful of the raw material and bearers of the salinet characteristics of the territory.
