2020 Davide Spillare 'Crestan' Garganega 750ml

In 2007, Davide Spillare released his first wines from his family’s land in Gambellara, a white wine area between Vicenza and Verona in Veneto. He had worked with Angiolino Maule at nearby La Biancara and he carried those lessons into his own cellar.

On the way, he committed to what he calls a natural approach, farming without herbicides or chemical fertilization and letting fermentations start on their own. The first export market was Japan, and today most of the bottles are drunk outside Italy.

Today the winery works mainly with Garganega. Fruit from plains and hills goes to simple, clean fermentations in stainless steel or older wood as needed, with low sulfites and no cosmetic tricks, so the wines speak clearly of Gambellara’s volcanic and clay sands.
