Castagnucoli farm is located in the southern part of the Euganei hills, in Cinto Euganeo. Nicola Del Santo has been leading it since 2010: an ex archaeologist on his forty. His father, a teacher, in the 70s buys house and land; vineyard get planted soon after, he builds a cellar and in the 90s he certifies everything organic. Nicola grows up there, gets out of it, comes back, starts making wine again.
Wine is the one taught by his father, renewed by the comparison with those who in that territory are breaking new paths, those that lead to natural wine: Alfonso Soranzo (Monteforche), Filippo Gamba (La Costiera), Marco Buratti (Farnea) friends who exchange wine and knowledge. For Nicola those are exercised on the parcels scattered around the cellar and the overlying "Monte" Gemola (281 asl).

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.
