"The Adelaide Hills is my winemaking backyard, but my addiction to Italian savoury tannin also takes me to where-ever great vineyards are planted to the best suited Italian varieties in Oz." Sam Scott (Owner / Winemaker)
Two distinct labels make up La Prova’s suite of wines, the white label wines focus on varietal expression and outstanding value where the Uno range are the single-site wines from growers Sam works closely with year-round. The grape growing and winemaking ethos is very much one of low impact, using native yeasts and only a little sulphur when bottling. Old oak and long, purposeful maceration for the red wines (sometimes in excess of 9 months on skins) allow Sam to realise savoury nuances, structure and an ethereal quality in his wines in the never ending pursuit of the purest expression of these varieties in Australia.
This is the newest addition to the La Prova range. The warm days and cool nights of the 2019 growing seasons delivered intensity of flavour and great natural acidity. Barbera thrives in Simon and Cecelia Berry’s vineyard, located in the Kuitpo sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. It’s made up of well drained sandy loam, ironstone and overlaid with clay. The clay retains water, and the ironstone gives the wine more body. Slow-braised beef brisket is a fitting combination.
