Diletta Tonello is a young winemaker in Veneto working heavily with indigenous varietals from her region. Diletta owns 12 hectares of vines in the Montorso Vicentino area nestled between Verona and Vicenza. The soil in this appellation is volcanic clay which adds a salinity and minerality to the wines. The vineyards were mostly planted in 1989 and are grown on traditional pergola veronese and are hand-harvested.
Her wines are each named after women from Greek mythology. The Io Cloe or “I am Cloe”. Chloe is another name for Demeter, the goddess of the harvest. This wine ferments in concrete and then stays in concrete for a full year followed by one more year in the bottle before release. She believes this time in concrete and bottle makes the acidity more harmonious and the wine more balanced. But the wine is bright and fresh, with soaring crystalline fruit and screaming acidity and actually improves in the glass and bottle after it is opened. It’s practically begging for some oysters or other seafood.
