Description

Davide Vignato's "El Gian" 2022 is a beautiful expression of Garganega, the indigenous grape variety of the Gambellara Classico DOC in Veneto, Italy. This wine is crafted from grapes grown on volcanic soils in the hills of Gambellara, giving it a distinctive mineral and salty quality. The vines, averaging 25 years old, produce grapes that are hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, with no additives or fining.

The 2022 vintage showcases floral aromas like wisteria and acacia, combined with subtle fruit notes of pear and apple. On the palate, it offers fresh acidity and an earthy minerality, with a slightly bitter finish, typical of the Garganega grape. It’s a versatile wine, ideal for pairing with fish, white meats, or even as an everyday meal wine. This wine is also a tribute to Davide’s father, Gian Domenico, and it embodies the traditions of the Gambellara region.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

Veneto is one of the most important wine regions in Italy. It is located in the northeastern corner of the peninsula. It borders Trentino-Alto Adige (north), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (northeast), Emilia-Romagna (south), and Lombardy (west).

Veneto's capital and most populous city is Venice, followed by Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and Rovigo. The east coast of Lake Garda, the biggest Italian lake, is part of Veneto, as is the tract of Alpine foothills called Venetian Prealps.

Veneto is the leading Italian region for the quantity of wine produced, even though wine-producing regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Lombardy, Puglia, and Sicily all have bigger territories.

Some of its most famous wines are Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella, Soave, and Prosecco. Other less-known but equally delicious wines are Recioto della Valpolicella, Recioto di Gambellara, Raboso del Piave, and Bardolino.

Veneto's main characteristic is perhaps the great variety of wine types produced, obtained mostly from indigenous grape varietals – Corvina, Glera, and Garganega being the most common.

This is due as much to its specific geography and climate as to rather peculiar winemaking techniques, such as the grape drying technique employed to make Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto's most famous red wine.
