Podere Pradarolo "Ex Plana" Skin Contact

Podere Pradarolo is a winery located in Emilia-Romagna, Italy dedicated to organic and biodynamic farming practices, owned and operated by Alberto Carretti & Claudia Iannelli. They place a strong emphasis on respecting the environment and maintaining the health of their vineyards. This means they avoid the use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyard and cellar - their wines are 100% certified organic. Their winemaking process aims to allow the grapes to express themselves with minimal intervention. Podere Pradarolo produces wines from various grape varieties, including Malvasia, Barbera, and Lambrusco but they are particularly well-regarded for their skin-contact (orange) wines (like Ex Plana!). The winery's vineyards are located in the Parma hills, and the unique terroir of the region contributes to the character of their wines. They are known for aging their wines in traditional clay amphorae, which are buried in the ground. This ancient winemaking technique allows for a unique aging process! Ex Plana is a skin contact wine made with a grape called Spergola, a white grape variety native to the Emilia-Romagna region, specifically in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It has a long history in the region and is considered one of the traditional grape varieties of Emilia-Romagna! This wine is rustic + layered with tropical fruit, balanced with minerality and herbs. It is a favorite among the hip set that always seem to know what to drink and what’s trending. Serve chilled and pair with tacos, spicy Thai dishes, or an assortment of your favorite cheeses. Be sure to break out your most beautiful glassware because this wine deserves to shine! Cheers! xo
