Catalanesca del Monte Somma

Medium

Cork

White

The grapes for this superb single-vineyard wine come from 80-year-old Catalanesca vines high up on Monte Somma, the remains of an ancient volcanic eruption within which sits the cone left by the 79CE eruption. About 50% is fermented on the skins, and it ages in a combination of Tava amphorae and stainless steel. The result is intense, sapid and saline, with fresh lemon and orange peel, herbs and a tight and zesty finish. Superb.
