Description
This natural orange wine is without sulphites added in any form. The 100% Cortese grapes come from a very old vineyard of less than a hectare at top of a hill. After the harvest in small crates, the must is poured into spherical handmade amphorae together with the whole semi-crushed grapes. In these beautiful spacious jars, the fermentation develops in a circular and uniform movement. Once fermentation is finished, the grapes lie on the bottom for around five months and almost a year passes before the wine is bottled. The terracotta allows the wine a special oxygenation and the time on skins adds protection and a subtle, lengthy texture.
Tasting Notes :
The wine is deep straw yellow color with discreet orange reflections. The fragrance is pleasant, delicate, complex, vibriant and reminiscent of naturally sun-dried mountain flowers and herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry with direct projection of slight tannic mouthfeel and bright acidity.
