Il Filare Corto

Pure Spergola A white wine made from Spergola, an emblematic grape variety from the hills of Reggio Emilia and Modena. Fresh, elegant and aromatic, it stands out for its lively acidity and remarkable finesse. The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours, when the cooler temperatures help preserve their aromatic richness. The wine is produced according to the ancestral method, with natural carbonation and a subsequent second fermentation in the bottle, followed by à la volée disgorgement. The sulfites present are naturally occurring and not added; their presence is verified through oenological analysis and declared on the label.

Tasting notes

Freshness, finesse and complexity On the nose, Spergola reveals delicate notes of apple, citrus and white flowers, accompanied by a distinctive sense of freshness. Its natural structure and lively acidity make it particularly well suited to the production of sparkling wines. We recommend serving it between 9 and 11 °C, a temperature that allows its freshness to fully express itself while revealing its more evolved nuances. Despite its effervescence, Il Filare Corto has genuine structure and complexity. To fully appreciate its character, we recommend serving it in a sufficiently wide white-wine glass, rather than a narrow flute, allowing the aromas to open up and develop.

Recommended pairings

At the table Thanks to its freshness, acidity and delicate saline-mineral character, combined with citrus notes and a subtle creamy texture, Spergola is remarkably versatile at the table. It pairs elegantly with antipasti and cured meats, Parmigiano Reggiano, tortellini and fresh pasta, fish, fried dishes, vegetables, fresh cheeses, gourmet pizza, tempura and first courses with delicate sauces. And why not discover it in a different way? We also enjoy serving Il Filare Corto as a true cocktail, over ice and with a few leaves of peppermint or lemon balm. Peppermint brings a fresher, more vibrant sensation, while lemon balm enhances its delicate citrus character.
