Description
WINEMAKER: Sergio & Paolo Bombetti
REGION: Lazio, IT
VARIETAL: Sangiovese
VITICULTURE: Organic
100% sangiovese from volcanic soils at 300m elevation. No sulphur. Can take a chill. Doesn't need it though. How good?
The region of Lazio (Latium in Latin) is in central Italy and is home to the capital Rome. It has all the natural resources suited to viticulture: the cooling breeze from the Mediterranean, the influence of the Apennine Mountains to the east, adequate rainfall, rich volcanic soils and an abundance of sunshine. | The Bombetti family have been farming their 3 hectares of land for over 100 years. Colleformica is located 40km southeast of Rome in the Castelli Romani area in the village of Velletri. Colleformica was established in 2018. The grapes, until then, were sold and the small amount of wine they produced was only for the family table. | As such, the land has always been lovingly cared for, never sprayed and always farmed organically. Two hectares are under vine, and the remaining hectare is a mix of olive and fruit trees, along with vegetables for the family.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
