GARGALO GODELLO 2019 receives a GOLD BACCHUS.
The most recent vintage of GARGALO GODELLO has been awarded with the
prestigious GOLD BACCHUS. This is the only wine from Spain’s Monterrei
Appellation to achieve this award at this year’s BACCHUS International Wine
Competition.
The Gargalo winemaking project was founded in 1998 by prominent Spanish
fashion designer Roberto Verino in the northern Spanish appellation of
Monterrei. From the initial inception of Gargalo, Verino has strived to produce
wines that translate their origin by utilizing a harmonious blend of vineyards
and their environment. He uses indigenous varietals as an invaluable asset
of the region’s legendary vineyards and produces wines guided by terrior to
accentuate a truly authentic character.
Bodegas Riojanas, also a family project, closely relates with Verino’s
passionate vision. They too have strived to make regionally expressive wines
in Rioja for 130 years following with their other wineries in Rueda, Toro and
Rías Baixas. Their common paths brought both winemakers together in 2019
with an agreement by which Riojanas would manage sales of Gargalo wines
in Spain and abroad.
For Verino, elegance is born from the terrior allowing nature to do its share
alone: “Whether with wine or with fashion, I strive to express the essence of
my creations. Neither wine nor people must wear uniforms made by trends”,
the designer explains. So is GARGALO GODELLO, elegant, different, complex
and aromatic, with hints of honey and nuts on the nose and a luxurious
palate marked with citrus flavors.
“Gargalo” means ‘canyon’ in Galician, the language spoken in the Monterrei
region. This ravine was formed by the Támega River in the Monterrei Valley,
named ‘the excellent Valley’ by the Roman legions which planted the first
grapevines and built the first cellars in the area. The Godello vineyards
located in this scarcely known region produces some of Spain’s most brilliant
white wines.
