Durella

Filter 

Durella is an Italian white grape hailing from the Northeast Veneto region. Durella is the term for the actual grape, but once converted to wine, it is called Durello. Durello refers to the  Italian word meaning tough. This may be a direct reference to the thick skin of the Durella grapes. Durella is robust and can grow in abundance, but it is most useful when cultivated in the lower quantities. Durella produces high acidity levels and because of that characteristic, it is most used in sparkling and dessert wines. Durella wines are typcially light with floral, citrus,and mineral notes. When crossed with Brambana, Durella produces the white grape variety, "Bianchetta Trevigana".

Gambellara Lessini Durello Spumante Brut 2023

Gambellara Lessini Durello Spumante Brute is 100% Durella.

Color: Soft and bright straw yellow
Bouquet: A citrus fresh fruit bouquet
Taste: Slightly acid, fresh, with green apple hints
Perlage: A fine and persistent perlage

The grapes are collected and transported to the winery in small trailers to prevent the grapes from being squashed, then follows immediate separation of the skins from the stalks purifying of the must and long fermentation at 18 °C.

This is a Charmat method (The secondary fermentation didn't take place in the bottle, but in a vat, which makes it slightly different than the Champenoise method used in Champagne).

To serve with seafood starters, soups, egg dishes, shellfish, seafood and white meat. Very good as aperitif. The perfect match is with the "Baccalà alla Vicentina", the traditional dish of our land.
