Spergola

Spergola is a rare Italian white grape from Emilia Romagna. It is now mostly planted around Reggio Emilia. The grape is quite versatile, and apart from dry wines, it can also be used for sparkling and dessert (passito) styles. The resulting wines are straw-colored, bright, and crisp.

Their aroma is fruity and floral, reminiscent of white flowers such as jasmine and acacia, along with citrus and green apple notes. The wines are refreshing, approachable, and mineral, with bright and lively acidity. Dry wines can be served with appetizers, seafood dishes, or pasta.

Sparkling wines make a great aperitif and are best served with appetizers, while sweet styles can be paired with cookies, pastries, and fruit tarts. The most important appellation for Spergola is Colli Scandiano DOC.
