Grechetto IGT Umbria "La Palmetta"

Italy
Umbria
2023

100% Grechetto. From certified-biodynamic vines, planted in 1987 on the estate's heavy clay-limestone soils and trained in the local traditional palmetta style. The bunches are hand-harvested early in the morning and immediately destemmed and gently pressed while the fruit is still cool. Only the free-run juice is fermented spontaneously in open vats without temperature control or sulfur; there is minimal maceration (Palmetta reads as a white wine as opposed to the more macerated look and feel of their Biancofongoli). The wine is aged on its fine lees in steel tank and bottled without any sulfur or filtration.
