Vini Sassara is a new project from longtime natural winemakers Alessia and Stefano Bertaiola, situated just outside Verona, in the Morainic Hills near Lake Garda. Together they farm a 10-hectare site that has been in Stefano’s family for 50 years. This is Bardolino country, a DOC in the Veneto region most famous for its Valpolicella-style light reds and rosé wines, but Alessia and Stefano have instead set out to show what the indigenous grapes and terroir are capable of when allowed to express themselves naturally.

Esotico 2020 is made from no less than 10 different grape varieties - a mix of 30% red grapes and 70% white grapes, co-fermented with skins for 10 days. Looking like a still version of our favourite San Pellegrino soda (blood orange), this would last 5 minutes at ours on a hot summer day. Light, bright, elegant, with notes of pomegranate, grapefruit, tangerine and wet stone, it's absolutely delicious, uncomplicated boshjuice.

Grapes: 30% red (Corvina, Rossanella, Rondinella, Molinara), 70% white (Fernanda, Moscato, Trebbianello, Trebbiano, Garganega, Tocai)
