A Mission Rooted in Nature
Era di OutGrowth isn’t just about crafting excellent wines. It’s about making a tangible difference in the world. With each bottle sold, profits help fuel a reforestation program: planting oxygen-producing bamboo forests and indigenous botanical species. These efforts aren’t afterthoughts—they are central to the vineyard’s mission to revive ecosystems and work toward CO₂ emission neutrality.
From Soil to Sip: The Essence of Era OG
Region & Terroir
- Grown in Soave Classico, within the UGA Costalta on the volcanic soils of Monteforte d’Alpone, Verona. Basalt soil gives the wine its distinctive mineral backbone.

Rewilding the Earth, one sip at a time.
Why It Matters
In a crowded wine world, it’s easy for sustainability claims to become marketing spin. What sets Era di OutGrowth apart is that every component—from grape to guest-room—supports the same story: heritage + respect for land + actual environmental restoration.
With each bottle, you’re not just tasting volcanic soil or organic farming—you’re participating in the rebirth of ecosystems, the protection of soil health, and the honoring of a land that we borrow from future generations.
So here’s to wine that doesn’t cost the Earth. Raise your glass to Era of OutGrowth: a legacy in every sip, and a greener future in every vine.
Vinification
- Hand-harvested late, carefully destemmed, gently pressed.

- A key method called batonnage (stirring up the fine yeast lees) is used to reintroduce glutathione—one of nature’s most potent antioxidants—into the wine.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Light gold.
- Aromas: Licorice and pear.
- Palate: Savory, mineral, velvety. It’s a wine that showcases the volcanic character of its birthplace.
