Named for the vespa (wasps) who love this grape as much as we do, Vespaiolo (ves-pie-olo) is famous for its late-harvest wines, but the dry version is pretty remarkable too. One sniff and taste, and it's no wonder bees and people are attracted to Contra Soarda. Produced by Mirco and Gloria Gottardi in the shadow of mountains, their Vespaiolo is resplendent with aromatic flower blossoms, nectar, stone fruit, and baked pears. Although the palate seems like it would be off-dry, the searing volcanic acids lift the wine on its finish. Pair with spicy foods or fried chicken, schnitzels, and fish.
