I Castagnucoli's Glera Still is 100% Glera from the southern Colli Euganei, farmed by Nicola Dal Santo on roughly 2.5 hectares of vineyards around Cinto Euganeo. The parcels sit on mixed soils — volcanic basalt and trachyte on the higher elevations, with calcareous limestone and marl on the lower slopes — giving the wine a mineral backbone uncommon in Glera made elsewhere. In the Colli Euganei, Glera is known locally as Serprina, a biotype distinct from the Treviso Prosecco grape.
In the cellar, nothing is added and nothing is removed. Fermentation happens with native yeasts, the wine is destemmed by hand, moved without pumps, and bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfur. The result is a still white wine — a rare format for Glera, which is almost always made sparkling — that shows the grape without the cushion of bubbles.
Expect a pale straw color, high natural acidity, and aromas of white peach, green apple, lemon peel, and white flowers. On the palate the wine is light-bodied and dry with a clean, slightly saline finish shaped by the volcanic soils. It is best consumed young, when the fruit is at its freshest.
