“They’re known as the crazy Italians making incredible natural wines with the grapes that all of the locals had written off in exchange for the more “international” varietals.” - Importer
70-year old vines of Subirat Parent, a grape related to Malvasia that thrives in the Massís del Garraf, grown organically on calcareous clay soils. Harvest is done by hand, grapes are pressed whole cluster with stems, racked and spontaneous fermentation begins in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Further aging continues for 3 months in stainless steel sur lie before being bottled unfined, unfiltered and with zero s02. A still white wine (not sparkling) that is delicately aromatic, crisp, and very low in ABV from the Mediterranean coast. Annual production is 2,000 Liters.
Wading through all the tech details, what this wine really is…..indestructable but also crisp and funky, a must try!! Keep it open and let it unfurl.
