Bodegas Fabril Alto Verde vinyard
Situated in San Juan in the foothills of the Andes, this estate is run by Dr Rodolfo and Carla Nale. At an altitude of 625 metres above sea level the vineyards benefit from long warm summers and cool evenings, enabling the grapes to ripen slowly and to develop good aromatics and characteristics. The vineyards, cellar, and methods of production are all overseen by Argencert, the Argentinean arm of IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements).

The Fasoli Gino Estate
Fasoli Gino turned to organic viticulture in 1980 and since 1984 all of their land has been farmed organically. The nature of the land (partly clay and partly a mix of stones and sand), and the favourable microclimate (the wide and sunny valley, protected from the north by the Lessini mountains) make the area particularly suitable for vine growing. Currently the estate is cultivating 14 hectares of vineyards divided into seven parts: Casétta, Cassòla, Creàri, Pessétta, Perantònie, Orgno and Sànde. The type of land varies from one vineyard to the other, which has helped determine which varietals should be planted. In the clay soil there are 30–40 year old garganega vines, traditionally used for Soave wine. Where the soil is stony and sandy, some clones of chardonnay, merlot and pinot noir have been planted. The meticulous viticultural practices include: grass grown under the vines; manuring with bovine dung; balanced pruning to guarantee a low yield; parasite control using natural products and predators, and hand picking done at different times to select grapes at their optimum ripening point. The vinification is carried out with the use of modern technology whilst respecting the criteria of organic production. back to top
DO Penedès Pinot Noir / Merlot Clàssic Rosat
Albet i Noya - 2005/2006
Region: Penedès, Catalonia

Three quarter merlot with pinot noir making up the difference this delightful rosé has many, many fans. Overflowing with sweet, summer berry fruits it is all kept in balance with refreshing acidity. Great with or without food.
Awards and Reviews
Keith Wilson, Wine Time: "A very bright strawberry red suggests similar flavours to come, and this wine does not disappoint. In fact, it is remarkably fruity, light and free of the acidity that lets down many other rosés."

About Albet i Noya
In 1978, Josep Maria Albet i Noya became the first winemaker in Spain to adopt organic practices in the vineyard, eliminating the use of chemical and synthetic insecticides and pesticides. Returning to more traditional methods, the balance of the vines is maintained using only permitted green, organic and composted fertilisers, resulting in healthy grapes of ‘true’ character. back to top
