WINEMAKING
Whole bunch pressed, the juice is then to stainless steel tank where the first fermentation starts. Part of the juice is kept in cold temperature and added to the still wine in order to start the second fermentation in autoclave. After few months the wine is bottled. The cloudiness of the product means that the wine has not been filtered. It keeps all the natural sediments produced by the winemaking process.
Producer
Agricola Cirelli is an organic farm with 23 hectares of land in a stunning location at the foothills of the Abruzzo mountains in Pescara. Here the natural cycles of the environment are greatly respected and aside from wine, the farm produces olive oil, vegetables, fruit and meats of supreme quality. Francesco purchased the land in 2003 after his graduation from university. He has dedicated himself to organic agriculture ever since and is now helped out by his wife Michela. Francesco is a farmer who isn’t afraid to challenge conventions and this is reflected in his amphora-fermented wine. These clay vessels, custom built in Tuscany are of his own design with special stainless steel seals that prevent oxidation whilst still allowing the wines to remain fresh and vibrant in the neutral environment of the amphora.
