About the grape variety
High-acid Romanian variety producing fairy light reds. Berry colour: black
Băbească Neagră, literally ‘grandmother’s black’, is a very old Romanian variety that most likely originated in the Nicoreşti vineyards in the county of Galaţi in Romanian Moldova, bordering Ukraine, where it was allegedly mentioned in documents as early as the fourteenth century and where it still shows significant intravarietal diversity (an indication of its age), including colour mutations with white (Băbească Albă) and green-grey or pink berries (Băbească Gri).
About La Spata Winery
"Our business is the fruit of a project which reflects the criteria of ethical investment. Apart from the splendid geographical location and the potential of the land, we have also felt that this investment could lead to some kind of social change.
The population here has experienced moments of great difficulty, and even now, through necessity, many have to rely on their own resources to get by. As a result of this difficulty, many Romanians have had to emigrate to the cities and abandon the country and the vineyards.
It would be a real shame to do nothing to reverse this tendency. By preventing this exodus and by managing to ensure work for the population, the important tradition of wine production in the region will not be lost." (Roberto & Roberto, founders of La Sapata)
Roberto di Filippo is a passionate winemaker. Natural viticulture is his life, and he has made his dream into reality. He spends his time with the horses who help him cultivate the vineyards, and his concerns in Italy and Romania. You are unlikely to find him in a jacket and tie, but in boots and clothes more suitable for the vineyard.
Roberto Pieroni is a true wine-enthusiast.Although an agricultural entrepreneur in another field he is excited by the prospect of producing quality wines in his second Homeland.
