Natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Carbonation using modified charmat method. Minimal sulfur additions and no filtering or fining.
Produced from selected parcels of Monteulciano grapes grown in the Chieti province of Abruzzo, on southeast Italy’s Adriatic coast. This delicious wine comes from 15-20 year old vines trained using the ancient method of trellising, known as “pergola.” They are planted to clay-rich soils, hand-harvested and wild yeast fermented for 2 weeks on the skins in stainless tanks. After a light fining and filtering, the wine is bottled. It offers rich, bright plum and cherries, with a lip-smacking finish.
