2022 Collecapretta 'Il Prodigo' Bianco, Umbria, Italy
$39.99
100% Mantonico (rare, very low yielding variety) obtained from the recovery of vines of ancient Umbrian tradition. After the harvest, the skins and the must were immediately separated. After fermentation, the wine was aged in a very small fiberglass barrel, during which time a couple of rackings took place, one post fermentation and one at the end of January. All cellar practices were carried out in full respect of the nature of the lunar cycles.
