Aligoté is Burgundy's 'other' white grape — less celebrated than Chardonnay but capable, in the right hands, of producing wines of real freshness and character. That La Sapata in Romania grows it is a fascinating twist: a classic French variety taking root in the continental climate of Vrancea, where the grape produces a wine with its own distinctive personality.
Pale and bright with crisp aromas of lemon, green apple, and a mineral, chalky note. The palate is lean and refreshing with lively acidity and a clean, dry finish. It's a wonderful food wine — the traditional match for Burgundian jambon persillé, but equally good with oysters, grilled fish, or a simple green salad with vinaigrette.

Todaythey have a joint venture in their label La Sapata, with a vision tofocus on organic farming and invest in local resources and people tocreate business for the local community. Sapata is 20 hectares ofscattered vineyard plots in the Cislita area and vineyards planted byhand with workers from local villages.Roberto and his partners use the same work ethics and model inRomania as they do in Umbria. They practice organic andbiodynamic farming with the help of draught horses in the vineyard.Roberto has been called the oenologist horse whisperer by localjournalists.
