Sustainable Winemaking in Adelaide Hills with Italian Varieties

The Innovative La Prova Winery

Founded in 2008 by winemaker Sam Scott, La Prova Wines represents the culmination of over 20 years of experience in South Australia and abroad. Sam's passion for Italian grape varieties led him to believe that Australia, particularly the Adelaide Hills, is an ideal location for cultivating these unique grapes. La Prova is a pioneering winery that combines traditional Italian varietals with the ancient soils of Australia, producing wines that are not only sustainable but also resilient to climate change. Each grape variety is carefully selected and grown in the most suitable locations, ensuring that they thrive in the Adelaide Hills and surrounding regions.

Adelaide Hills Terroir

Located in the Adelaide Plains of South Australia, the Adelaide Hills region boasts an average rainfall of about 600mm and temperatures ranging from 16 to 22 degrees Celsius. This Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm summers and cool winters, creates one of the most fertile areas in Australia. The predominant soil type is red clay loam, complemented by sandstone outcrops and patches of black earth, providing an excellent foundation for grape growing.

Winemaking Philosophy

At La Prova, the winemaking process emphasizes meticulous vineyard management and a precise picking schedule. The philosophy is simple: the best wines are made on the day the grapes are harvested. The winery sources fruit from vineyards that are best suited for each grape variety, primarily in the Adelaide Hills, but also from regions like King Valley for Prosecco and McLaren Vale for Nero d'Avola. This careful selection ensures that each wine reflects the unique characteristics of its origin.
