TreMat - ‘Vinell’ Col Fondo - 750 ml 11%

Hand-harvested grapes for "Vinell" are left to dry using the 'appassimento' method - a gentle approach that lays the grapes out to naturally dehydrate 6-7 days . The slightly dried grapes are then crushed and macerated on the skins for four days followed by a gentle press to remove the skins. The remaining juice is left to ferment spontaneously in old wooden casks on fine lees for six months. The wine is bottled for secondary fermentation in bottle using must from the same vintage (col fondo method). It is unfined, unfiltered, and without the addition of any SO2.

Grapes are classic : Perera, Verdiso, Bianchetta & Glera! but this wine is anything but - I mean, it's classic as in these are the classic grapes of the region of Prosecco! and yes, you will want to drink it all the time cuz it's so DELISH!! but it's crazy because...well, I'll let Gianni tell you in his own words "Some people think I’m wasting my time. Others that I will never gain any results. I believe in the labors of our ancestors, that in the vineyards alternated different types of vines to give scent, acidity, and sustain to the wine directly from the wine pressing , with no ulterior intervention in the wine cellar. I believe in the vine, a living thing, is able to give its marvelous fruits if respected by man. I believe in the future, which will be better if we are able to regain the wisdom of the past and we are able to integrate it into our new consciousness. This is my project and my philosophy. Wine says marvelous things to those who are able to listen."
