Vignale Di Cecilia

Paolo Brunello's estate, Vignale di Cecilia, is nestled in the hearth of Colli Euganei, the volcanic hills between Padova & Vicenza, and his wines are possibly the best expression of this unique terroir.

Bianco 'Poldo' 1lt

Blend of Garganega, Moscato and Tocai, the Veneto IGT "Poldo" is the latest addition to the range of products offered by the Vignale di Cecilia company; endowed with a marked gastronomic vocation, it tickles the palate with pleasant fruity aromas, a prelude to a very satisfying drink, in which persuasive mineral notes also appear.

Vinified and aged in steel before being bottled. A white that is undoubtedly the expression of Paolo Brunello's passion and desire to get involved, without compromise but having fun.

Bianco 'Benavides'

Dry white wine from Moscato and Garganega grapes, it is the latest born among the Vignale di Cecilia wines, from the best white berried vineyards of the company. A short maceration of the grapes and spontaneous fermentation enhance the typicality of this white wine, which seeks in its grapes flavor and freshness, persistence and slenderness, typical aromas and qualities of evolution

'Jujube' Tutti Frutti Ananas

Tutti Frutti Ananas is a collaborative project between three vignerons in Collioure and Banyuls: Manuel di Vecchi Staraz of Vinyer de la Ruca, Zé Tafé of La Cave des Normades and Joachim Roque of Domaine Carterole.

As the three produce very limited quantities of wine from their respective estates (the steep schist hills of Collioure/Banyuls are notoriously low-yielding), the goal of the project is to make a more approachable expression of these terroirs.

A couple of days of skin maceration. Orange with floral notes, a bit of tannins and acidity. Easy orange wine

Rosso 'Covolo'

A range of volcanic hills just outside the city of Padua, the Colli Euganei deserve more recognition as they are home of some incredible red wines.

The Rosso ‘Covolo’, a 70:30 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon fermented and aged in concrete vats, is the perfect example: full, rich without being overpowering, with heartiness and minerality that add complexity to this wonderful wine. Produced with love & passion, and without useless chemicals.

Vignale di Cecilia

Paolo Brunello's estate, Vignale di Cecilia, is nestled in the hearth of Colli Euganei, the volcanic hills between Padova & Vicenza, and his wines are possibly the best expression of this unique terroir. Elegant in a country way, with depth, fruit, a touch of rustic character and that easy drinking yumminess that we are all craving for. And of course, none of that useless additives and chemicals are used, in a perfect Grapecircus style.
