Product DescriptionA 100% Verdicchio ‘Orange wine’ from Marche, central Italy. Female winemaker Mery Ferrara, alongside the legendary Andrea Lonardi, produces wine in a graceful, elegant style that respects the fresh, mineral edge of the land.
The hand harvested grapes are from 30ha of vines grown in calcareous clay soil at around 300m altitude with an exposed north-eastern aspect. After de-stemming, whole bunches undergo a natural fermentation in vat, left in contact with skin for 5 days, creating a sort of ‘infusion’ to extract flavour and aroma yet minimise tannin. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to retain a high level of freshness and bright acidity.
A wonderful bouquet of lemon peel or a twist of lime, very light vanilla and caramelised peach; while the palate invokes pears, ginger and salty almonds with a crisp and vibrant finish.
