Sincette: the first Groppello Tre Bicchieri

For the first time, the Gambero Rosso Guide gives the highest recognition to a red wine produced with the indigenous variety of the Garda Riviera

The Groppello 2020 of the Sincette Agricultural Company of Polpenazze del Garda (Brescia) wins the Three Glasses in the Gambero Rosso Guide to Italian Wines 2022. It is the first time that the highest recognition has been given to a wine produced solely with Groppello grapes, the autochthonous variety of Valtènesi, on the western shore of Lake Garda. “We are proud - declares Ruggero Brunori, owner of the company, - of having ennobled the historic grape variety of our territory. The award gratifies us for the efforts made in more than forty years of research and persuades us to continue, with the aim of making Groppello one of the great Italian grape varieties ”. A commitment that starts from the vineyard, where the Sincette farm has been working in a biodynamic regime since 1997 and thanks to which in 2011 it obtained - the first in Lombardy - the Demeter certification. The obsessive attention continues in the cellar, with a fermentation triggered by indigenous yeasts in a first maceration of about ten days in concrete tanks, then the racking and racking into 750-liter terracotta amphorae , where the wine ends the fermentation process in slow and natural way to enhance the fruity components. The 2020 vintage is particularly fresh and elegant, a wine with a brilliant ruby red color, with intense aromas of red fruits, raspberry and currant and floral hints of violet and dried rose. The taste is full, soft and fresh acidity, with a finish of good persistence. “We are particularly satisfied - explains Andrea Salvetti , director of Sincette - despite the demanding weather conditions and an early harvest, we were able to reach an excellent result”. Maximum care is also taken in the packaging, with bottles dressed with a label that reproduces the original illustrations by Jean Blanchaert , a well-known gallery owner and art critic specializing in ink drawing.
