Tasting Notes:

A refreshing, rustic white sparkling Trebbiano. The grapes are pressed softly and ferment in cement tanks for two months. After, the base wine is filled into bottles with a bit of grape juiced that was frozen after the harvest. The sugars present in the juice and the yeasts in the wine get together and start a second fermentation, now trapping all the CO2 in the bottle. The wine is not filtered, and there are no added yeasts, sugars, or sulfites, making this a cidery, slightly floral and herbaceous wine with persistent fine bubbles and a tart finish.

Tasting Notes: The juice ferments in 600 and 1000-liter 3-year-old wooden barrels. The juice ferments for about 1 month with occasional piegeage and indigenous yeast fermentation. The wine is left in the same barrels for elevage for about 19 months with occasional battonage. It is then bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with zero sulfur added. Dried fruits, apricots, yellow plum, lemon, quince and mango aromas. Light caramel, great minerality, aromatic and complex.

Tasting Notes: The grapes are de-stemmed and placed in 30 hl truncated conical oak vats where they remain for about twenty days during which part of the spontaneous fermentation takes place in contact with the skins, without controlling the temperature. This is why this wine will have a lot of character and can be classified as a ‘skin contact’ wine. 3-4 manual punch downs a day are carried out as needed. After racking, aging takes place in 700 l tonneaux, for about 8 months and then 2 months in bottles. We do not carry out any clarification and filtration or addition of sulfites

Tasting Notes: Direct pressing, ageing in old barrels for 4 months. This bottle is capped because it has residual sugar left that could have recreated a fermentation that did not take place. The nose is open on aromas of cherry flowers and fresh bread. The attack is on sugar, followed by a fresh acidity. The mid-palate brings back a sour/bitter balance to finish with a persistent acidity.
