Ellezero, Garganega - 2019
The producer very gently describes the vineyard where this Garganega is grown as a "magical place, refuge for pure souls, path of meditation and now also a real path where to find inner peace." The resulting wine could not be different: intense and fresh, dry and generous, floral and vegetal. A tribute to the founding soul of the estate.

Spontaneous fermentation on indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. Skin-contact maceration for 15 to 20 days. No filtration nor clarification. No added sulphitr. Aging for 10 months in cement tanks and 8 months in bottle.
Earth
The Garganega vines of Ellezero were planted in the 1970s, following the Veronese pergola system. This hillside vineyard, located in the Arcandola locality, in Marcellise, in the municipality of San Martino di Buon Albergo, at 230 meters above sea level, faces south-west. It is the white limestone soil (the "pietra di Lessinia", named after the neighboring regional park) that gives the wine its extreme minerality and freshness.
People
TERRE DI PIETRA
With a degree in accounting, Laura Albertini never gave up: she would become a winegrower. The adventure began in 2007 with the vinification, in a small garage, of grapes cultivated by her father. Then, gradually, it moved from renting vineyards to buying small parcels and growing its project.
As for his spouse, Cristiano Saletti, he initially saw his role not exceeding that of assisting his spouse. But Laura’s far too early death decided otherwise. And it was the vines and nature that supported him in this ordeal, making the dream come true.
The name of the Terre di Pietra estate refers to its soil, made up of layers of very hard stone and, by extension, to the attachment of its founders to their land. In addition to following the precepts of organic viticulture, the estate has been a member of VinNatur since 2017, the most important Italian association of natural wine producers.
Nowadays, Laura’s daughters and Cristiano are already walking in their steps. The youngest, Anna, is in fact the author of the wine labels.
