The Lessini Durello DOC Riserva Brut Viola by Fongaro is a refined expression of the mountainous Lessini territory in Veneto. Made exclusively from the Durella grape, known for its vibrant acidity and mineral structure, this classic method sparkling wine stands out for the elegance and complexity that come from prolonged aging on the lees.



In the glass, it shows a fine and persistent perlage, accompanied by a wide bouquet that alternates scents of green apple, fresh citrus, and a delicate hint of bread crust. The sip is fresh, savory, with a pleasant length that envelops the palate, making it perfect as a refined aperitif or paired with delicate fish dishes and soft cheese. This Lessini Durello riserva is a great example of how the classic method can enhance lesser-known native grape varieties, offering elegance and dynamism.

Winery history
Cantina Fongaro was established in Roncà in Lessinia and is reported to have been founded by Guerrino Fongaro in 1975. Over time the estate has focused on the rediscovery and promotion of the indigenous Durella grape, choosing to work almost exclusively with sparkling wines produced using the Traditional Method. Since the mid-1980s the winery has practiced organic farming and developed an artisanal production, personally overseeing every stage from the vineyard to bottling.
Production philosophy
Priority is given to the local grape variety and the terroir, with meticulous hands‑on care in both the winery and the vineyard, exclusive production using the Traditional Method, and certified organic management to reduce environmental impact and showcase the distinctive qualities of Durella.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located in the Monti Lessini area, on soils of volcanic origin; the winery is part of the Lessini Durello denomination and leverages the altitude and mineral-rich soils to produce Durella-based sparkling wines.
Awards and recognitions
The winery is mentioned in news and press releases for international awards; among these is a Gold Medal for the Riserva Pas Dosé.
