Tasting Notes: "Macaia" is a word of the Ligurian dialect, probably of Greek origin (from malakia, languor), or perhaps English ("muggy air"). It indicates a particular meteorological condition that occurs in the Gulf of Genoa, the sky is overcast and the humidity is high. Given its specificity, the word has taken over in nautical and meteorological terminology. Over time, the term has also taken on a metaphorical meaning, indicating a particular melancholy and gloomy mood, mixed with anger. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 15/20 days. Affinage takes place in steel tanks and 4 months in old wood barrique and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: “Mutabilis” is a rosé wine; the name comes from an ancient Chinese rose called Mutabilis Chinensis. After the winemakers experimented with different blends for a few years, they decided to make this wine with 100% Freisa, as this was the grape variety that gave us the best expression of a rosé wine in their terroir. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 2 hours and then are pressed for fermentation. Affinage takes place in stainless steel for 10 months and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: This wine is a Nebbiolo rose’ pet nat. The nebbiolo grapes are destemmed and crushed after harvest, it sits on skins 12/18 hours, which gives it the rose colour. Then the juice is spontaneously and slowly fermented , no additions made. Once dry, meaning all the sugars have been transformed in to alcohol and carbon dioxide (6/8 weeks), is racked and moved outdoor to avoid malolactic fermentation, no sulfates are added. Kept on fine lees until spring time and than racked before the sur tirage, made with must that has been frozen at vintage. This is a versatile rose', that works pretty well as an aperitif but also matches great with food, especially in spring and summer. Fresh and zippy but with a pleasant weight to the palate and some tannins, it shows floral/fruity characters and some funky notes. This is a super fun and pure wine that you will not find in many places.

Tasting Notes: Hand picked fruit, left to sit overnight to cool down, crushed and de-stemmed the day after into open fermenter either wood or stainless. After a few days of maceration when the cap rises Lapo start plunging daily from once a day up to 4 times in middle of the fermentation. Drained off to press when bone dry, usually after 4 weeks on skins. Lapo does combine free run and pressings. Racking of the wines happens at least couple of times in between the pressing off and the completion of Malolactic fermentation before the entonnage happens. Only neutral barrels are used. The wines are made with no addition of selected yeasts, malo bugs, copper sulphate, fructose, tannins and the sulphites are kept to a minimum. BAROLO del Comune di La Morra is a blend of two excellent crus Bricco Rocca and Fossati , which are spontaneously fermented in open fermenters. Despite the hot July and August vines were not stressed and the fruit conditions were excellent, picked early in October. This Barolo shows pure fruit character, great depth and beautiful tannins, an absolute beautiful expression of the Nebbiolo grape.

Tasting Notes: Made from 100% Dolcetto grapes, harvested by hand in small red baskets. They reproduce the old method of foot pressing, only half of the grapes are pressed, the other part is only destemmed, leaving the grapes intact. This allows the winemaker to rediscover the fragrance of ancient flavors, with a less aggressive tannin and therefore more approachable early on. The wine is obtained through spontaneous fermentation and using only indigenous yeasts, not clarified and unfiltered, aged in large cement vats.

Tasting Notes: La Favorita is an old native vine of Langa and Roero, which is well suited to poor soils, typically sandy. The DNA of the grape vine is the same as that of Vermentino from Sardinia and Liguria, which is why it is thought that the grape has a common origin and was spread thanks to the Savoy family. Straw yellow wine, the bouquet is fruity and floral: hay, fresh flowers and banana; on the palate it is fresh and soft, with good balance. Try it as an aperitif, this is an easy drinking delicious wine.
