Davide Vignato El Gian Garganega 2022

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.
