MISTO MARE 2025
Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT | 12% vol
Alois Lageder, Alto Adige, Italy

A w**e that captures the spirit of the mountains and the ancient sea. Misto Mare is a complex field blend featuring over 14 red and white grape varieties, uniquely vinified as a white w**e.

In the glass, expect a crystal-clear mineral freshness layered with floral notes, citrus, and peach. It’s an elegant, refreshing nod to the ancient ocean that formed the Dolomites 200 million years ago.
Beyond its beautiful profile, Misto Mare serves a vital purpose: it acts as a gateway project supporting local farmers through their three-year transition to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The initiative actively champions biodiversity and sustainable agricultural practices.

Experience this exceptional w**e with us next week.
📅 Thursday, 15 October 2026 | From 19:00
Join us at The Spärrows for a 6-course dinner (£85 pp) paired and presented by Alois Lageder W**ery himself.

🎟️ Tickets are available via the The Sparrows, Pasta & Spätzle website.

SCHLUTZKRAPFEN

Tyrolean rye dough pasta parcels | spinach | ricotta | chives | brown butter

Schlutzkrapfen, or Ravioli Tirolesi (surely less challenging to pronounce for non German speakers ) is a regional pasta specialty from the Tyrol – an historic region in the Alps that occupies part of northern Italy Alto Adige (South Tyrol) and Western Austria (Tyrol).
Schlutzkrapfen are half moon shaped, resembling mezzelune or pierogi.

Rye flour used in Schlutzkrapfen has delicious fruity flavour and is distinctively higher source of fibre and protein than wheat flour. Rye dough pasta together with spinach and brown butter makes wholesome and moorish dish.

From our Austrian w**es recommendation:

Zahel Weiner, Gemischter Satz 2023 , 12% alc

Alex & Hillary Zahel are the 4th generation of w**emakers. Since taking the lead, they proudly continue to produce one of Vienna’s most elegant w**es. Zahel family also runs Heurigen - a w**e tavern serving local food and w**e, that should not be a miss when visiting Austria’s capital.
Zahel Weiner, Gemischter Satz is a blend of Gruner Veltliner 45%, Riesling 35%, Zierfandler 20% that are hand selected at the w**ery and fermented together using natural yeast, 8 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks.
