'Diletto' Nevio Scala 2019

The "Diletto" is a white wine that expresses a fresh and elegant profile, characterized by pleasant savory notes. It is produced by Nevio Scala, whom many will remember from the fields of Serie A with the jerseys of Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, and Inter, and from the bench of the best Parma of all time. On the Colli Euganei, he manages an estate where he produces expressions with a straightforward and authentic character, the result of serious work in the vineyard and vinifications that are very respectful of the quality of the raw materials.

The white "Diletto" by Nevio Scala is born in the estate located in Lozzo Atestino, in the province of Padua. It is the ancient family property that Nevio decided to refound at the end of his football career. The cellar includes a wooded area, an area dedicated to crops, an olive grove, and about 6 hectares of vineyards, planted with historical varieties of the territory, among which the Garganega stands out in particular. The project is aimed at rediscovering the roots of the territory, both through the enhancement of native varieties and through a winemaking approach aimed at preserving the original qualities of the grapes, with minimal human intervention. Herbicides and synthetic products have been banned in the vineyard, and only low doses of sulfur and copper are used. The vineyards are cultivated on volcanic and alluvial soils on the first reliefs of the Colli Euganei, particularly suitable for quality viticulture. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, using only indigenous yeasts.

The Nevio Scala "Diletto" is a still white wine with a genuine and sincere character. It aims to be a quality interpretation of the classic daily wine to bring to the table and share with friends. A label played on the pleasantness of drinking, which makes simplicity and immediate expressive power its winning card. The color is a bright straw yellow, with slight golden reflections. The olfactory profile recalls the aromas of white flesh fruit, citrus, medlar, and aromatic herbs. The taste is vital, smooth, and harmonious, with a fresh and salty finish.
