## About this wine

La Biancara was founded in 1988 by Angiolino Maule and his wife Rosamaria in the volcanic hills of Gambellara, Veneto. Angiolino is a renowned figure in the low-intervention movement and co-founded VinNatur, Italy's leading natural wine association. The estate operates with a strict philosophy of zero chemical additives or intrusive manipulation. Garg'n'go was conceived as a playful, refreshing 'glu-glu' bottle designed for spontaneous drinking and conviviality, named as a lighthearted nod to both the Garganega grape and iconic rock culture.

## Interesting facts

- The name is a tongue-in-cheek play on the Garganega grape and an homage to the rock band Guns N' Roses.
- Secondary fermentation is triggered naturally using dried Garganega grape must instead of cane sugar.
- Founder Angiolino Maule is the co-founder and long-standing president of VinNatur, Italy's natural wine association.

## Food pairing

The high, vibrant acidity and active natural fine bubbles effortlessly slice through rich fats in fried foods, cured pork, and creamy fresh cheeses. The light body and clean mineral character support delicate raw fish and light seafood without masking subtle flavors.

## Wine making process

Crafted according to the Ancestral Method (Pet-Nat / Col Fondo style). Primary fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks without temperature control or enological additives. Bottle re-fermentation for natural effervescence is triggered naturally by introducing unfermented must from sun-dried Garganega grapes rather than commercial refined sugar. The wine rests on its lees, undergoing no fining, filtration, or added sulfites before release.
