NEANDERTHAL

Francesco and Dario Martinelli, along with their agronomist friend and winemaker, have taken charge of a 1.2 hectare vineyard in the classic area of Soave. They aim to embody modern concepts such as sustainability, terroir, and identity. Their small, healthy, and vital vineyards produce less than 10,000 bottles, and they use spontaneous fermentation and vinification free from intrusive techniques, thus transmitting the essence of terroir through the glass. They focus on the Garganega grape, which expresses the unique identity of volcanic and mineral flavours complemented by pleasant freshness. This approach is a new reality in Soave, embodying modern concepts for sustainable production.
