Spergola is an ancient white grape variety chiefly associated with the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, particularly the hills around Scandiano and Canossa. Distinguished by its bright acidity and delicate aromatic profile, Spergola wines feature enticing notes of green apple, white peach, citrus blossom, and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, they reveal a fresh, lively character, often complemented by a pleasing minerality and a refined, clean finish.
While still wines are produced, Spergola is renowned for its sparkling expressions, both frizzante and spumante, which capture the grape’s vibrant freshness and finesse. These wines are typically light- to medium-bodied, making them highly versatile for a variety of occasions.
Spergola’s bright acidity and delicate aromatics make it an excellent match for a range of dishes. It pairs particularly well with seafood starters, grilled fish, or light risottos, as well as fresh cheeses and vegetable antipasti. Its refreshing character also makes it an ideal companion for Italian salumi, offering a palate-cleansing contrast to rich, savoury flavours.
