'Contame' Nevio Scala

"Contame" is an authentic, artisanal orange wine produced by Nevio Scala, a former famous Serie A player and highly successful coach. At the end of his football career, he decided to return to his homeland and give a new impetus to the small family farm. Thus was born the desire to produce wines with a strong territorial connection with the oldest traditions of the Veneto region. It is a white macerated on the skins orange wine style, with great richness and aromatic complexity.

Nevio Scala produces wines on the Lozzo Atestino estate, which lies at the foot of the Euganean Hills in the province of Padua. The vineyards cover a total of about 6 hectares within an estate that also includes an olive grove and a part destined for forest and arable land. The farm is undergoing organic conversion precisely to preserve the intact ecosystem of the entire agricultural area. Only small amounts of sulfur and copper are used, and pesticides or other synthetic products are banned. A simple approach is also used in the winery, with minimal intervention, to preserve the grapes' strong personality. The wine "Contame" comes from fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins of about 2 weeks.

Nevio Scala's "Contame" wine is an expression of craftsmanship inspired by ancient times when even white grapes were often vinified with maceration on the skins. As a result, it is a frank and straightforward wine with a typical and genuine taste. The colour is orange with golden highlights. The bouquet expresses aromas of ripe yellow fruit, medlar, apricot, candied citrus peel, hints of resin and medicinal herbs. The palate entry is broad and rich, with complex, deep aromas that stretch toward a smooth, harmonious finish.
