ULTRA BIO NATURAL WINE
WHAT DO YOU DRINK WHEN YOU DRINK SÒBER?
I am Andrea Tirapelle and what you have in your hands, when you drink Sòber , is not a simple wine: it is the result of something that was not there before , but that in reality has always been there, before my eyes. That something is the awareness of what the earth and nature have always had to offer, but that only with time have I been able to recognize and enhance. Since 2019 I have transformed a small family vineyard, born as a secondary activity, into a project that merges past and present , guided by an ultra-organic production philosophy that starts from the vineyard and arrives in the bottle.
The heart of this project is Roncà , a corner of paradise at the foot of the Lessini Mountains , in the eastern part of Verona. Here, the vineyards extend over about one hectare distributed in different terraces, on a terrain of volcanic origin where the surface is covered by a layer of red clay that hides a skeleton of basaltic rock outcropping.
In this context I cultivate my Garganega and Durella vines , historically trained with the Veronese pergola, framed by woods and olive trees. These vineyards are a true refuge of biodiversity , where nature finds its balance even between the rows.
The harvest is carried out in crates, from September to October, and each bunch is carefully and attentively selected as if it already contained the secret of the wine it will become. In the cellar, the philosophy remains the same: to continue what was started in the vineyard , respecting the authenticity of the wines. Here we avoid the use of superfluous products, allowing ourselves only a pinch of sulfur and temperature control. When the time comes to bottle, the wines are not filtered, maintaining all their purity intact .
