Our wines

A SOCIAL AND ITINERANT WINEMAKING PROJECT

Discover Our Wines

Our wines are the result of collaborations with peasant realities and artisan producers. We produce unfiltered, spontaneous fermentation wines by buying grapes at a fair price and renting space in cellars, promoting a connection between virtuous farmers and small wineries.

Riobò

riobo(1)

Rosè sparkling wine

RIOBÒ is the result of the collaboration between Vite Sparse and Bergianti Vino (Terrevive). It’s a blend of sorbara and uva oliva, which refermented in the bottle using frozen must. It’s an easy-drinking wine characterized by its freshness and wild strawberry flavor.

Why Riobò

“Three little houses with pointed roofs, a small green meadow, a thin stream: Rio Bò.” When a romantic seventy years old vineyard is added to this imaginary portrait, Aldo Palazzeschi's poem Riobò, turns into Casalpriore, Gabriele Ronzoni in San Martino Rio (Bò) and becomes real.

The collaboration – Az. Agr. Terrevive

Biodynamic and social farm, their wines are among our favorites in their area. We were so thrilled when Gianluca, head of Bergianti vino contacted us and showed us the old semibelussi vineyard in Casalpriore. What started as a collaboration, quickly evolved into a friendship.

CAMPOREALE - VALLE DEL BELICE

Sherpa

Sherpa Logo

White wine

SHERPA is the result of the collaboration between Vite Sparse and the Valdibella Cooperative. It’s a pure Catarratto fermented on its skins for seven days and aged, for eleven months, in a steel tank. It’s a Mediterranean wine characterized by its richness and a tiny hint of aromaticity

Why Sherpa

Sherpas are high altitude guides and porters who support strangers on Himalayan expeditions. Likewise, Massimiliano, Nino, Salvatore and all the people of Valdibella accompanied us to discover the territory of Camporeale. Sherpa is the incarnation of our collaboration, a wine to be pursued, sip after sip, in its climb towards an increasingly intriguing drinking.

The collaboration - Cooperativa Valdibella

The Valdibella Cooperative has been trying for many years to unhinge the social stratifications that dominate the territory by restoring dignity to farmers, fighting exploitation and promoting the reintegration of disadvantaged people into the workplace. This is why we have chosen to make in their cellars with Salvatore Zappardo's grapes.

MONTECALVO VERSIGGIA - OLTREPÒ PAVESE

Opposto

Red wine

OPPOSTO is the result of the collaboration between Vite Sparse and Tenuta Belvedere. It’s a Croatina which fermented on its skins for fourteen days and aged, for nine months, in a grès amphora. It’s a full-bodied wine characterized by a ripe yet fresh fruity note.

Why Opposto

When Vite Sparse was still just a dream, our goal was to make a wine with low alcohol content and ready to drink. However, having to interpret the territory immediately made us change our minds, ending up making a wine that was the opposite (“opposto” in Italian) of what we had thought.

The collaboration - Tenuta Belvedere

Gianluca Cabrini, Tenuta Belvedere's owner, is a dynamic and tenacious winemaker who has bet on high-quality agriculture. His commitment to the proposing a different perspective of Oltrepò Pavese's wines is what made us fall in love with him. Opposto is the manifest of Vite Sparse and Gianluca shared vision.

COSTA VESCOVATO - TORTONESE HILLS

Aloe

aloe (1)

Red wine - single cask

ALOE is a 2009 blend of barbera and moretto. Twenty days of maceration and 9 years in large wood. The first winemaking of Alessandro Poretti, Alo for friends, the current winemaker of Valli Unite. The elegance and seductiveness of experience, the spontaneity and vivacity of youthness.

Why Aloe

They say the Aloe plants at the tenth year of age reach the maximum therapeutic efficacy. We do not know if this is true, but this wine has undoubtedly achieved the apex of its expression of joy and taste in ten years.

The collaboration - Coop. United Valleys

The Valli Unite Cooperative has been struggling for years on recovering the territory and people, rebuilding a sincere and synergistic relationship between man and nature. An exciting story that led us to discover a hidden treasure in a barrel.

What is Vite Sparse

The Project

We took it into our heads to make wine without having a vineyard or a cellar, buying grapes grown with respect for the soil and the environment and making wine at local wineries that share an idea of wine as an expression of the territory and a promoter of conviviality.
