Lupus in Fabula 2018

Description

A Vermentino on its own, that lingers in the nose with its fine intense aromas: fruity notes of white flesh fruits, pear, peach, grapefruit peel, and tiny wild flowers characteristic of the Mediterranean maquis, hawthorn and wild pear. It displays on the palate the typical light hint of almond, and mineral finish.

Vinification

The grapes are pressed without prior destemming. After that the must is clarified through settling and it ferments at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After the fermentation, the wine is aged sur lie for 8 months in steel tanks.

Vineyard

The grapes come exclusively from the owned vineyards “Vena Fiorita”, “Susula” and “Piscolvei”, where the soil is mainly composed of granite sand with a tiny percentage of clay. Granite is a rock chiefly composed of minerals such as quartz and feldspar, which provide minerality notes to our wines.

Viticulture

The vineyards are cultivated implementing an integrated farming system which does not use herbicides, treatments are limited and carried out exclusively with products having a low environmental impact. The company holds SQNPI (National Integrated Crop Management Quality System) certification and Green Care certification, to reduce water and electricity consumption. The plants are not irrigated, unless under emergency conditions, and this means that their roots burrow down into depths of the earth seeking water and absorbing mineral salt and character from the granitic and sandy soil. The vineyards are still farmed in the traditional way, pruned by hand and tied using biodegradable and natural materials. The grapes are harvested by hand and taken in small crates to our winery.
There is no use of products or by-products of animal origin either in the vineyards or in the winery: our wines are 100% Vegan.
