2022 Gustinella Jungimmune Rosso, Italy
$62.00
The main grape variety in this wine is Grenache, present on this side of Etna since the mid-1800s. It was brought from France at the time of the Duchy of Nelson, of which the town of Maletto was part. Together with it, grapes are also harvested from some centenary vines of Nerello Mascalese, Tinto Nero and other minor vines that are not yet fully identified. The old vineyards of Maletto are often co-planted with old varieties.
The grapes are harvested by hand and delicately crushed in steel vats where they remain to macerate on the skins for about 25 days. After racking and a light press, the wine ages for about twelve months in steel, cement and demijohns.
