Description

Ca' de Noci Querciole is a sparkling white wine made from 100% Spergola grapes, an ancient and lesser-known variety indigenous to Emilia-Romagna. The wine is produced using the ancestral method (pétillant naturel), which involves a natural re-fermentation in the bottle. This process gives the wine its lively effervescence and complex character.

The 2022 vintage is golden-yellow and offers aromas of bread crust, ripe apple, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is fresh and creamy with vibrant acidity and a persistent finish, showcasing the unique qualities of the region's silty-sandy soils and the winery's careful organic farming methods. Ca' de Noci emphasizes minimal intervention in winemaking, with no added sulfites and a focus on sustainability. This wine is a great match for fish dishes, light appetizers, or enjoyed as an aperitif.

Producer profile

Ca' de Noci

Ca' de Noci Winery is a natural and biodynamic wine estate in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, founded by the Masini family in 1993. The estate has garnered attention for its focus on indigenous grape varieties, such as Spergola and Lambrusco Grasparossa, as well as its minimal-intervention winemaking practices. “Ca' de Noci” translates to "House of Walnuts," a nod to the estate’s ancient walnut trees.

The Masini brothers, Giovanni and Alberto, are pioneers in the natural wine movement, emphasizing biodiversity and ecological balance in their vineyards. The grapes are farmed organically, without chemical pesticides or herbicides, and the winemaking process is free of additives, including sulfites. Their wines often undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and are bottled unfiltered.

The winery is particularly famous for its sparkling wines, crafted using the traditional method of pét-nat (pétillant naturel), which results in lively, fresh wines with a rustic edge. "Riserva dei Fratelli" and "Sottobosco," a Lambrusco-based sparkling red, are some of their standout cuvées. These wines embody the philosophy of the Masini brothers—preserving the land and respecting ancient winemaking traditions while producing innovative, natural wines.​

Wine region

Emilia–Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna's viticultural legacy dates back to ancient times, with both the Etruscans and Romans recognizing the value of the region's fertile terrains.

Subsequently, they initiated the cultivation of vineyards, thereby establishing the foundational pillars of the region's wine legacy. Over time, Emilia-Romagna welcomed various traders and settlers, and their collective contributions further shaped its wine traditions.

Geographically, Emilia-Romagna spans from the expansive plains of the Po River to the rugged terrains of the Apennine Mountains. The region's climatic conditions, moderated by the Adriatic Sea, provide an optimal environment for viticulture. Its terroir, characterized by a composite soil structure of clay, silt, and sand, accentuates the uniqueness of its vineyards.

This particular soil composition ensures that grapes cultivated here encapsulate the region's intrinsic qualities, resulting in wines that reflect the true essence of Emilia-Romagna.

Emilia-Romagna is a repository of diverse wines, with Lambrusco often being the most recognized. However, its offerings extend beyond this effervescent variety. The region's Sangiovese reds are emblematic of its profound wine-producing expertise, while the Trebbiano whites exhibit a distinct lightness and elegance.

With an increasing emphasis on organic and natural wine production, Emilia-Romagna is poised to be at the forefront of contemporary vinicultural innovations, underscoring the belief that wine is not merely a beverage but a narrative of its origins.
