2020 Cantina Giardino SiWi Frizzante

Cantina Giardino seek out old vineyards in Irpinia, high in the hills of Campania, preserving and championing local varietals. High altitudes, volcanic soils, organic farming and honest winemaking, Antonio and Daniela's wines are expressive of terroir and speak of place.

"Sidro Wine is the first experiment with apples. They wanted to make a cider using the apples from the old trees growing in the vineyards. Like with grapes, Irpinia has an incredible variety of local and heritage apples. But after harvesting and pressing they soon realised the quantity was too small to make a cider on its own and they decided to co-ferment it with a coda di volpe coming from a parcel which was harvested in late November. The result was extraordinary and even though they were tempted to bottle it still, they decided at the end to re-ferment in bottle using frozen greco must for the tirage." - Giorgio
