Tasting notes, medals and awards

Tasting notes: Vignasilan is the supreme expression of Contrà Soarda's terroir. Sourced from a single, exceptional vineyard where Vespaiola grapes ripen in soils entirely of volcanic origin, this wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by an additional 6 months of aging once fermentation is complete. Finally, the wine continues its maturation process in bottle for another 7 years. This wine represents a bold venture: Vespaiola, traditionally celebrated for its freshness and lightness, has been aged here, acquiring a new aromatic dimension linked to tertiary aromas and remarkable complexity. The result is a surprising wine where the scents of pressed wildflowers - chamomile, elderflower, and acacia - intertwine with notes of orange oil, hints of petrol, and a pronounced minerality, offering an enveloping sensory experience. On the palate, Vignasilan displays a broad spectrum of flavors: ripe melon, mandarin, lime, and lemongrass blend harmoniously, culminating in a long, persistent finish reminiscent of the damp gray of stones. An innovative oenological journey that transforms the fresh character of Vespaiola into a masterpiece of elegance and complexity.
