Esotico is a field blend co-ferment of 30% red grapes (Corvina, Rossanella, Rondinella, Molinara) and 70% white grapes (Fernanda, Moscato, Trebbianello, Trebbiano, Garganega, Tocai) grown on old vines at Vini Sassara's 10-hectare site on Monte Mamaor, a morainic hill in Valeggio sul Mincio at roughly 200 meters elevation, within the Bardolino DOC in Veneto.
All grapes are hand-harvested and spontaneously co-fermented together with 10 days of skin maceration in fiberglass tank, without temperature control. The wine is aged in stainless steel, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulfites and no added yeast. The result sits in an ambiguous color range between deep salmon and copper-orange.
The soils at Monte Mamaor are morainic in origin, a mix of ancient marine deposits and glacially transported sediment including quartz, granite, limestone, and alabaster, all of which register in the wine's saline, mineral character. The vines themselves are roughly 50 to 60 years old, giving concentrated fruit at naturally low yields.
