Acciaroli (SA) 2019

The Primitivo wine we planted in Acciaroli is grown in organic since the first year ( 2003 ) the soil in Calamona land is unique for the territory of Cilento National Park, very high in iron and magnesium and with huge quantity of scist instead the limestone, The PH. is way lower and the grape gives with unespected minerality for a mediterrean wine added to the more usual salinity. The soil is extremely suitable for the cultivation of “Primitive” grapes.

- The wine “Cala Mona” is produced in accordance with traditional and environmentally sustainable methods. The harvesting of the grapes, the processing and bottling of the wine are ‘Certified Organic’. The harvest is all done by hand at the end of August and the grapes are immediately picked and placed in fermenting yeast, then pressed in a hand press. The wine is left to raise for not less than three years in oak barrels and one year in glass bottles, in temperatures constantly monitored to prevent them from being altered in taste or properties. Storage in oak barrels rounds out the tannins resulting in a very drinkable wine. The presence of wild plants in the vineyard, such as the Arbutus and Nepitella, enriches the flavour and Mediterranean influences. The end result is the production of a limited selection of excellent wines.

Balance, taste and nature leads you to the pleasure of enjoying a true product, a “son of the land of Cilento”, surprisingly soft and balanced, suited to the palate for this “Biological” Wine.

-The “Catacatascia 2016” project comes by the idea that vines are old enough to produce more elegance and complexity with less powe1r, after an early harvest I did do a very little contact between must and skin (peel): only 5 days. Considering the spontaneous yeast start fermenting after 3 days the extraction was very gentle; then aged the wine for 8 months in one of the 3000 liters wood casks and after a gentle fining with a little of bentonite ( 5 grams per liter ) aged in bottle for an extra year.

-The 2018 harvest project is a small quantity of rosè primitivo wine trying to keep the elegance and the fruity avoiding the sweetness and the extracolor, the grape will go stright to the press.
