Salty, Citrus, Herbaceous

Italy / Skin Contact, Orange / Catarratto / Organic

The Grapes are destemmed and begin spontaneous fermentation in steel vats with native yeasts, macerating with their skins for about 5 months in steel tanks. Finally the wine is bottled without being filtered and only a minimum amount of sulphites are added. Salty, Savoury with a lick of citrus fruits. This is wonderful paired with sardines, anchovies and anything briney.
