Best Wine of Summer 2021: Lessini Durello Riserva Metodo Classico Extra Brut 2013, Gianni Tessari

The Durella grape - known in Veneto as Durello - is proving to be one of the most interesting rediscoveries of the Veneto wine scene in the last decade, a variety which is well suited to the production of sparkling wines, including the classic method, with results of primary importance. Proof of this is the Lessini Durello Riserva Metodo Classico Extra Brut 2013 by Gianni Tessari, who for years has been committed to the revaluation of this variety with excellent results.
