Sassara
Run by Alessia and Stefano Bertaiola, this 10 hectare estate outside Verona, 5 km south of Lake Garda, is a collection of small parcels on calcareous and iron-rich clay soils of morainic origin. Alessia, with a background in agricultural research and development, is only too aware of the amount of chemicals used in conventional viticulture, so she painstakingly converted each plot to organic and biodynamic farming over the last decade. The wines are contemporary, yet with an allure 'd'antan', and they are an utter joy to drink.
