In 1974, Guido Fidora converted his family estate, Domini del Leone, to organic viticulture. At that time being organic was not a trend and the term “organic” itself was not even associated to agriculture as it is today. Guido believed that everyone seemed to have fortgotten that for the past thousands of years, people grew produce without the use of chemicals. Today, Domini del Leone is one of the oldest examples of an organic-cultivated environment in Italy and the oldest one in the Veneto region.
The Domini del Leone Veneto Blanco is a non-vintage blend of 50% Glera, 45% Pinot Grigio and 5% Chardonnay co-fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The grapes are from vines 3-20 years of age grown in compact clay-loam soils. Fruity, with hints of white flowers and a surprisingly mineral sensation given by the Mediterrean breeze and the terroir close to the lagoon of Venice. Enjoy with simple seafood pasta dishes.
