Spergola is an indigenous white wine grape from the Scandiano area of Reggio Emilia, and the first mention of the grape dates back to the 15th Century. Forming bunches with a little side bunch giving the grapes a "winged" appearance, Spergola is a grape with high natural acidity and much is made into sparkling or semi-sparkling wine. It can be dried to make passito sweet wines. Although the above bottle was tasted at the Win Fair last year, i had already tried this grape at a previous PWC Unusual italian grapes wine dinner. As for this wine, it was a pale straw with few streams of fine bubbles. The nose had a slight note of sour plums and the palate was acid with slight fruitiness. The acid backbone was evident when the acid prickle faded away.
