Asjarigato
Asjarigato is a distinctive winery rooted in the Veneto region of Italy, specifically along the Bacchiglione river. This ancient waterway, historically a vital commercial link between Padova and Venice, has long influenced the viticultural traditions of the area.
Asjarigato is known for its commitment to artisanal winemaking all lead by their female winemaker Asja. Their approach emphasizes hands-on care in the vineyard, with much of the viticultural work, from pruning to harvesting, performed manually. This dedication extends to the cellar, where each small batch of wine is carefully nurtured to highlight its unique characteristics, rather than seeking homogenization. They embrace patience, allowing time to work its magic in transforming their efforts into wine, and each bottle is personally sealed as a testament to their meticulous craft.
The vineyards of Asjarigato benefit from alluvial soils rich in a sandy matrix with limestone concretions. This unique terroir contributes to the creation of elegant, aromatic, and savory wines.
Among their notable wines is the Friularo, a grape variety deeply intertwined with the region's history. From as early as the 1400s, Friularo, known as "vin da viajo" (travel wine), was prized for its excellent longevity due to its natural acidity and tannins, making it ideal for transport towards the Venetian lagoon.
Asjarigato produces a range of wines, including a Flower Power Frizzante Pet Nat made from Moscato Giallo and Friularo, known for its orange flower, fresh, and citrus notes. They also offer a Raboseo Frizzante Rosé Pet Nat, indicating a leaning towards natural wine production. Her DOCG flagship wine, Fruilaro Di Bagnoli ,however is a very unique and high quality version of Fruilaro that must be tasted. Rich yet still fresh, its a unique wine that will impress adventurous wine drinkers. Her wines are a reflection of her commitment to tradition, her unique terroir, and her passion for crafting expressive, quality wines from Veneto.
